Nucleic acid testing can be done for throat inflammation. Inflammation of the throat generally refers to acute or chronic inflammation of the throat, mostly due to viral or bacterial infections resulting in non-specific inflammation; and the nucleic acid test probe is specifically designed for the new coronavirus, which can very accurately and specifically extract the RNA of the new coronavirus, so even if there are excess viruses or bacteria when the throat is inflamed, the results of nucleic acid test will not be affected. However, inflammation of the throat usually results in inflammatory reactions, such as congestion, swelling, phlegm, and even oozing of the mucous membrane, at which time the throat swab nucleic acid test may aggravate the above symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended that patients consult their doctors before the test to clarify whether the nasal swab nucleic acid test can be performed, so as not to aggravate the discomfort in the throat.
