Many people are more concerned about how to prevent pharyngitis. There are many ways to prevent pharyngitis, mainly preventing oral and nasal diseases.

1. Open windows frequently for ventilation: Keeping the air circulating will reduce the risk of respiratory diseases and is an effective measure for the treatment of chronic pharyngitis.

2. Pay attention to oral hygiene: eat more fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C, and things rich in collagen and elastin, such as pig's trotters, fish, milk, beans, animal liver, lean meat, etc. Pay attention to personal hygiene and wash your hands frequently. You can gargle with light salt water in the morning and evening. After gargling, you may want to drink a glass of light salt water to clean and moisten the throat and prevent bacterial infection.

3. Keep warm and prevent oral and nasal diseases: The onset of chronic pharyngitis is related to not keeping the mouth, nose and body warm. Therefore, the temperature in the room should not be too cold when sleeping; dry your body and blow dry your hair in time after taking a bath or shampooing; wear a mask when going out or riding a bike in the morning on cold days to protect your mouth and nose from the irritation of dry and cold air.

4. Adjust your diet: Eat a light and easily digestible diet, supplemented with some refreshing, heat-removing, tender and juicy foods. Drink plenty of water and cool drinks, but not too strong. Avoid tobacco, alcohol, ginger, pepper, mustard, garlic and all spicy foods.
