Our staff is prepared and trained to recognize the tests and treatment needed to assure your safety in light of the increase in Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and flu cases in the neighborhood and surrounding cities. The COVID-19 pandemic continues as flu season approaches this year, and our staff at Lavender Urgent Care Sarasota is aware of how difficult it may be to discern between many illnesses with similar symptoms. We now provide a combination test to determine if a condition is caused by COVID-19, the flu, or the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) in order to remove any uncertainty.

The flu is caused by the influenza virus, COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and RSV is caused by the respiratory syncytial virus. All three are highly contagious respiratory illnesses, and it is possible to be infected with more than one at the same time.
RSV symptoms in children and older people often resemble a cold, including a sore throat, dry cough, congestion or runny nose, fever, and headache. Severe cases can cause pneumonia-like symptoms such as wheezing, bluish skin color, and difficulty breathing.
You can get tested for COVID-19, flu, and RSV at Lavender Urgent Care Sarasota. We offer a combination test to determine the cause of your symptoms. Schedule your appointment online or walk in for testing and treatment.
