Question
Hello doctor,
On February 28, I felt a little feverish, chills, mild sore throat, chest pain for more than 1 week, pain in the lower abdomen, mucus discharge with small blood streaks . I suspected that I was pregnant, so on March 1, I used a test strip and got 2 lines. Today 2/3 of the symptoms, bitter mouth, runny nose and sore throat are still there but I was afraid of getting Covid I had a quick test and it went up 2 lines. So the doctor asked me if pregnant women with a quick Covid 2 test should do a PCR test? I thank the doctor.

Hello,
With the question "Should pregnant women do a quick test of Covid 2 lines to test PCR? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
With the information you provide, you can quickly test 2 bars, ie positive, but there are still cases of false positives. Therefore, to confirm whether you have Covid-19 or not, you should go to a medical facility for a confirmation PCR test. You should use antipyretic when needed, gargle with salt water twice a day, and use eye drops daily. You should see an obstetrician. When Covid-19 test results are available, you should notify your local health care provider for advice and disease management.
If you still have questions about pregnant women with Covid 2 rapid test, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
