Honey will help to control your cough, a hot cup of tea with teaspoon of honey in it works just as well and not mention the way it will help you sleep! I myself don't like honey or tea, but if I'm sick enough, I can deal with and suck it down, and I feel much better!! My favorite for an itchy throat though is just some plain ol' Robitussin, it's always, always worked better for me than anything else!! Hope you get to feeling better!Www@Answer-Health@Com

My Mother used to make me gargle warm salt water!. !. !. not swallow but gargle!. !. !. but let me tell you, it is disgusting so unless you want torture, I am not going to tell you to do that!. It will help your throat though!. I would stick to the honey!. Much more pleasant!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Hi David! In my country, there is no better medicine than huny, shreaded onion and lime all mixed together!. Next time you get sick, try it! It works wonders, my son is under 1 year and that's his one and only med!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
honey "coats" because of its room temperature viscosity, the effects are temporary, as soon as the honey is ingested it will start to melt off!. (your body temperature being higher then the ambient temperature) -blureyWww@Answer-Health@Com
