The test is a culture of the cotton swab from your nostrils. A mucus sample is sent to the laboratory where it is examined for fungi. Most fungal infections result from mold or yeast. Consult your healthcare provider to order the test. Thank you.

He can do a swab and send it off for a fungal culture. If you have polyps, they can be removed and examined for fungi. Good luck.
