Comment Comment by burlesona I’m not a doctor so please correct me if I’m interpreting this incorrectly. It seems the TLDR is:1. There are few effective treatments for upper respiratory tract infection.2. The authors combined all studies currently done on the efficacy of honey to estimate how it compares to conventional treatment (antibiotics).3. Honey appears to help slightly more than conventional treatment (just at managing symptoms?).4. They recommend further studies with placebo control to learn more.That’s interesting and kind of surprising to me. How does one use honey as a treatment? Just eat some? How much? How often? Etc. parent burlesona 6 years ago
