How to prevent sore throat

3 ways to really stop running nose or sore throat turning into long term flu or even fever.

1 Salt water gurgle every morning is correct - salt can do the job of killing bacteria not virus.
As soon as you experience that sore, tickly feeling in your throat that precedes a full-blown cold, gargle with warm salt water.And when I say gargle, I mean really gargle; take in a mouthful of warm salt water, look up at the ceiling, and gargle aggressively. You may want to tap at your throat (the Adam's apple region) with your fingers while you gargle to encourage the warm salt water to trickle deeply into your throat.What if you gargle for all you're worth but still end up developing a full-blown cold? Get lots of rest, drink plenty of fluids, and take comfort in knowing that countless viruses are at work destroying your weakest cells. And don't forget to blow your nose as often as it runs; help your body get rid of what it wants to get rid of.
