Is nucleic acid detection more uncomfortable for mouth or nose?

Some people who do nucleic acid testing don't feel anything, and some feel a little uncomfortable, but the time for collecting samples is very short, which is generally tolerable. If you collect stool swabs, urine swabs, sputum, etc. You won't feel anything about nucleic acid testing.

If you take a nasopharyngeal swab, you need to enter through the anterior nostril and extend down the nasal passage to the posterior wall of the pharyngeal cavity. At this time, you will feel a little uncomfortable, but it will only stay for about three seconds, and it will be taken out after gently rotating, so it is generally tolerable.

Matters needing attention in nucleic acid detection

It takes 6-8 hours to get the results of nucleic acid test, but it is not possible to get the results immediately. There is no need to ask the doctor for the test results too quickly. If there is no bleeding in the oral mucosa, no pain in the nasal cavity or nosebleeds after examination, you can live a normal life and eat normally.

Nucleic acid detection is a common non-invasive operation in clinic, and secretions are taken from the respiratory tract and pharynx of patients. The operation is simple and quick, with little side effect, and the experiment can be repeated without worrying too much about adverse reactions.
