Question
Does drinking honey water help children with fever?
Answer
Generally speaking, it is not advisable for babies under 1 year old to drink honey water. Children over 1 year old can drink it, but if they have a fever, they need to undergo fever-reducing treatment. Simply drinking honey water is not enough. Honey has the effects of cough suppression and lung moisturizing. For tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be used for intravenous administration, and regional application of ice borax powder on the affected area can help with inflammation and pain relief. In terms of diet, spicy and irritating foods should be avoided, and more water should be consumed.
