SYRUP instead of HONEY??

Question

so i have a soar throat..and i know about the honey and lemon thing..but all i have at the moment is SYRUP..will it still work???

Answer 1

No syrup won't work

Research shows that a spoonful of honey is more effective than DM cough syrup in treating coughs - and is safe for children over 12 months old, according to Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, December 2007.

Researchers discovered honey contained as many antioxidants - which combat the free radicals which can damage cells - as spinach, apples, oranges or strawberries. Scientists from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign say honey appears to have a "mild protective effect".

Answer 2

not rely..

honey has the same texture as syrup.

but its not the same thing.

sryy

Answer 3

no because syrup has sugar in it and sugar will make your throat worse.

i suggest some hot tea.

Answer 4

No. If you don't have honey, use lemon & salt and gargle. If you don't have lemon, use vinegar. Not as therapeutic, but it will alleviate the pain.
