@HITTING THE HEADLINES 05 Dec 2007
Honey is better than dextromorphan for treating children's coughs, reported seven newspapers (4 December 2007). The newspaper articles described a small trial in which buckwheat honey was found to give effective relief to night time cough symptoms. However, the trial only demonstrated honey to be superior to no treatment and not to dextromorphan.
What were the authors' objectives?
To evaluate the effectiveness of a single dose of honey or honey flavoured dextromethorphan for treating nocturnal cough and sleep difficulties associated with URTIs in children.
What were the findings?
In all three groups symptom scores for cough frequency and severity, the bothersome nature of the cough, and effects on child and parental sleep improved overnight. Honey gave the greatest improvement in symptoms for every outcome, and no treatment the least improvement.
