What Is Pharyngitis?

8. Prevention
While it is all but impossible to be completely safe from pharyngitis, we can at least help to decrease the likelihood that we will get it. These generally include common sense precautions that will help to keep us safer from disease overall. One way to achieve this is to wash your hands regularly, and sanitizers can be very effective.
Also avoid sharing food, and don’t share cutlery, crockery, and drinking vessels. Keep surfaces clean, especially things like keyboards and telephones that are going to be touched regularly. Try and make sure that if you sneeze or cough then you do so into a tissue, and also try to keep clear of other people that appear to be sick.
