honey

A great food, unless you're a baby. Do not give honey to children under one year of age. See infant botulism.

Honey has been shown to be a reasonable treatment for cough in children. In a recent study¹ it was given in the same dose as cough medicine 30 minutes before bedtime with superior results to dextromethorpham (the "DM" in many over the counter cough preparations) and placebo.
