A severe or persistent sore throat can be caused by strep, a virus, irritation, or another condition. At 209 Urgent Care, a provider evaluates your symptoms and determines whether rapid strep testing or another test is appropriate. Walk-ins are welcome seven days a week.

A sore throat can have many causes, but strep throat is a bacterial infection that often requires antibiotic treatment. At 209 Urgent Care, we provide rapid strep throat testing with same-day results to quickly determine whether your sore throat is caused by Group A Streptococcus and help guide the appropriate treatment.

Why Early Strep Testing Matters

Strep throat is caused by bacteria, unlike most sore throats, which are caused by viruses. Early testing helps determine whether antibiotics are appropriate and may reduce the risk of complications while avoiding unnecessary antibiotic use when the illness is viral.
