Nucleic acid test generally refers to the new coronavirus nucleic acid test, sore throat can do nucleic acid test, will not affect the test results. It is recommended that patients should not drink alcohol or eat too much spicy and stimulating food before the nucleic acid test. Patients with symptoms of sore throat can do the nucleic acid test. Because the nucleic acid test is mainly through the collection of the patient’s throat swabs or nasal swabs to detect whether the patient is infected with viruses, even if the patient is a viral infection caused by laryngitis, it will not affect the nucleic acid sequence of the nucleic acid test, so a sore throat will not affect the results of the nucleic acid test. Patients should avoid drinking alcohol before the nucleic acid test to prevent affecting the test results. In addition, patients should not eat too much spicy and stimulating food, such as chili peppers, garlic, peppercorns, etc., to avoid nausea, vomiting, and other uncomfortable symptoms during the collection of throat swabs. It should be noted that the use of a throat swab for the new coronavirus nucleic acid test may aggravate the sore throat, and if you must do it, you can consider switching to a nasal swab or anal swab. Sore throat patients can do nucleic acid test, it is recommended that patients do a good job of personal protection in the nucleic acid test, wear a good mask, but also need to maintain a certain distance from others to prevent the phenomenon of cross-infection.
