Tonsillitis and testing!

Ok don't come for me, I know this post is a little out there... BUT, I'm currently unwell worth tonsillitis and I'm on antibiotics. I don't have any Covid symptoms and it's def tonsillitis as the doctor has checked... I did a lateral flow this morning before the doctors just incase and I can't stop cringing at the thought of rubbing the stick in my infected tonsils and then up my nose. I've not potentially made things worse for me have I by testing? I didn't even think about it until after! Sorry if this sounds so stupid, can't stop thinking about it ....

Well you’ve already got tonsillitis so you can “re spread” it to yourself.

Your nostrils are simply another route to the back of your throat. So if you were going to pass infection via the swab, it would have got there already of its own accord.
