Lateral flow question

Hi

I woke up with a mild cough today so did a lateral flow.

I was found something and then came back to the rest after about 5 minutes ( I know your mean to wait 30)

And there was a obvious positive line.

It’s not disappeared and has gone to negative.. what’s that all about ?!

If you have symptoms, do a PCR test.

Why did you do LFT if you have a cough?

If there was a line then that's a positive. Go and get a PCR test.

LFT are not for people who have symptoms, you need to book a PCR test and isolate as well as any family members.

Meant to say it’s now disappeared and shows a clear negative. I did a LFT as I had them in the house. But I will go and get a A PCR

At 30 mins was it positive or negative?

LutherRalph1 · 22/07/2021 10:04

If you looked soon after doing it, it could have been where the liquid was traveling up the test, but you should get a PCR anyway

Roses10101 · 22/07/2021 10:05

Negative at 30 mins but was shocked that there was a clear second line there after 5 mins but I thought as well that it could be it travelling up

Going for a PCR anyways
