Chewing Gum before a strep throat test can potentially affect the results, as it may leave residue in the mouth that interferes with the accuracy of the test. It's generally recommended to avoid eating or drinking anything, including gum, for at least 30 minutes prior to the test. This ensures that the throat swab accurately captures any bacteria present. To be safe, follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding food and drink before the test.
