I have a runny nose and sore throat, and I feel like it may lead to fever and a cold. What should I do to prevent it from worsening?
A runny nose and sore throat are often early signs of a common cold or viral infection. Rest well, drink plenty of warm fluids, do steam inhalation, and gargle with warm salt water to ease throat discomfort. If symptoms worsen or last more than a few days, consult a doctor.
