Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What kind of honey can young children eat?Doctor's answer:
Feeding infants with honey can promote their growth and development, and enhance their disease resistance. Generally, the daily honey intake for a 4-year-old child is about 5 grams. Infants under one year old should not eat honey. It is best to consume natural honey, as it is safe for babies to drink, although it belongs to the category of traditional Chinese medicine. It can also be considered a dietary therapy, which is good for the throat. Note that it is not advisable to drink honey after eating fruits or at night.
