Firstly, he says, parents or caregivers need to insert the RAT swab into their child’s nose at a horizontal angle. “So your natural tendency, [like] when people pick their noses, is to point the swab vertically to the sky and often the pictures depict that, but actually what’s best is for the swab to go horizontal,” he says. “If you look at the swab and it’s parallel to the ground, you’re doing it right.
What you’re aiming for is the pink skin one to two centimetres inside the nostril, past the dry skin right inside our nostril that has hair on it. “We want the wet part of the nose,” says Levi. “It doesn’t have to be painful or scary,” says Levi. “A gentle, slow and low direction will reduce the pain and help your kids to have it [the swab] again and again and again.”
