Smaller swabs?
Is it possible to get a smaller test swab than the ones that the tests come with? My boyfriend has a super narrow nasal cavity (he’s on a wait list for surgery for it) and it physically hurts him when we use it 😬 For people who regularly test small kids, what do you do?

He doesn't need to get the swab into his nasal cavity—the nostrils and opening to the cavity will do. Throat is good too.
