Honey is great, but it’s not a superhero. If your sore throat lasts more than a few days, or you have a fever white-out, call your doctor. Also, if it hurts so much you can’t even swallow your own spit, that’s a sign to get checked.
Never give honey to babies under one year old—that’s non-negotiable. For everyone else, it’s a safe and delicious helper.
And if you have diabetes, check with your doc first, since honey does raise blood sugar. It’s still a sugar, just a fancier one.
