A study published in the August 6 edition of Pediatrics reports that honey is more effective than placebo in controlling nighttime cough in children with upper respiratory infections. The authors conducted a randomized double blind placebo controlled study using 3 different kinds of honey. The end results showed all three honeys to be equally effective and more effective than the placebo. 300 children between the ages of 1 and 5 were recruited for the study. The parents were asked to evaluated the children before and after the intervention. Children with asthma and pneumonia were excluded. Previous studies have also shown honey to be effective.
