How can I reduce my risk for chronic pharyngitis?

You may not be able to prevent pharyngitis altogether. But there are steps you can take to greatly reduce your risk:

• Don’t share food, beverages or eating utensils.
• Wash your hands frequently.
• Use antibacterial hand sanitizer when soap and water isn’t available.
