Honey is Natural, readily available, and has virtually no side effects, and doctors can recommend it as a suitable alternative to antibiotics, which are often prescribed for these types of infection.
Honey acts as an anti-inflammatory, rapidly reducing inflammation and relieving pain. It has a calming effect on the lining of the respiratory tract and prevents coughing.
Besides creating this protective layer, honey also causes some changes at the sensorial level. It causes a reaction in the sensory nerves in the throat which then signal the nervous system that, among other things, regulates the cough mechanism.
