Honey for Cough

for Whooping Cough (Pertussis)

Honey to soothe the throat and provide symptomatic cough relief in children over 1 year with whooping cough.

How it works

Honey soothes pharyngeal mucosa through demulcent effects and may suppress cough reflex. Also has mild antimicrobial properties.

What to watch for

Never give honey to children under 12 months due to botulism risk. Provides symptomatic relief only — does not treat the bacterial infection.
