Frequently asked questions
Does honeycomb help a cough?
Research suggests honey may help reduce cough frequency and improve sleep in children over one year. Honeycomb may offer a similar soothing effect when chewed slowly.
Can I give honeycomb to my coughing child?
Only to children over 12 months. Honey of any kind must never be given to infants under one year due to the risk of infant botulism.
How should I take honeycomb for a cough?
A small piece chewed slowly, or a teaspoon of the honey from the comb, is a common home remedy. This is not medical advice.
