Honey is a time-honored remedy to treat sore throats and coughs in kids and adults. It can be given by the teaspoon or swirled into a cup of tea or warm lemon water.
Using honey for a cough won’t get rid of it entirely, but there are some evidence that a single dose given at bedtime may suppress a cough in young children – Honey coats the throat and soothes irritated mucus membranes, calming a cough and easing related symptoms.
