Honey is a natural expectorant, however - used in cough drops like certain Ricola flavors, so assuming your child is > 1 year old, it's actually beneficial to administer occasionally.

Yes, the careful use of honey is beneficial in some situations. I'm not suggesting that all sugars should be excluded from a child's diet.

I've also seen honey used in burn dressings which was fascinating. Also grusome.
