Soothes cough
Research recommends that honey can aid in calming a cough. Six studies review narrates about curing cough in children present that a spoon of honey represses a cough also just like the cough suppressant present in Robitussin DM (dextromethorphan). It is way better than Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or no other treatment. The research also presents in honey that might give longer relief in comparison to Albuterol (salbutamol). The small amount of honey orally mostly at bedtime seems to lower the coughing spells in younger and older children ages 2 years. Honey seems to be approximately as efficient as cough medicine like dextromethorphan. But it is not obvious if honey lowers cough in adults.
