The throat culture swab is often used as a diagnostic tool in the identification of bacterial infections
such as pneumonia, strep throat, whooping cough, tonsillitis and much more. If you find that you are
indeed suffering from some of these symptoms(listed below) for prolonged periods of time and that
normal cold meds are not that effective in helping treat the same, then you need to consult your
doctor right away as it can be an indication of something more serious.
If any of the following symptoms sound familiar to you, then please consult your healthcare worker
right away.
Sore throat
Difficulty swallowing
Congestion
Difficulty in taking deep breaths
Pain in the chest cavity
Discomfort in breathing
If any of the above sound familiar, then it is highly probable that you are indeed suffering from a
bacterial or fungal infection.
