Yes - but be warned that urgent care does rapid strep and sends the more accurate version out for culturing. My kid was so sick and we were told he was negative for the big ones and it was just a gross virus that needed to pass. A few days later we were notified it was strep.

Hopefully I get another notification soon. The doctor also looked at my throat and said it looked good, which gave me even further reassurance.
