Honey could offer more effective treatment for some respiratory infections than prescription medicines, according to a study<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The pharmaceutical industry has developed a host of treatments for sore throats, blocked noses and coughs, but a study suggests snuffling patients could get more relief from honey than antibiotics and over-the-counter medicines.<\/p>\n

Physicians from Oxford University\u2019s Medical School and Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences analysed existing data to evaluate the effectiveness of honey in treating illnesses that affect the nose, sinuses, pharynx or larynx.<\/p>\n

Such maladies are referred to as upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs), and include laryngitis and tonsillitis, as well as common colds.<\/p>\n
