Is honey more effective than cough syrup?

I am not sure if there is any scientifc proof in this. I realise that Nicole has been coughing much less ever since I started filling her school water bottle up with honey water, 3 times a week. In fact, the last time she really coughed was a long time back, at least some 3 to 4 months ago.

Perhaps you could let your child try it too, but not if they are less than 1 year old!

Hey, that works very well for adults as well. I drink honey water everytime I feel like I am getting sore throat. Works so much better than cough syrup or pi pa gao! Try NZ's manuka honey, supposedly to be very good and effective for sore throat.

What honey do u feed your kids with? I feed my kids (myself too) with Comvita's NZ Manuka honey whenever they are feeling under the weather.

I am easy...either manuka or any ordinary NZ honey...I only give nicole a small teaspoon to make up a full bottle of water. She drinks a lot of water in general.
