A member asked:
Is it ok to take manuka honey 15+ nine days post tonsillectomy having had a couple of post surgery bleeds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be ok: Manuka honey is known for its antibacterial and nutritional properties, and may be helpful in the healing process. Under most circumstances, there are no dietary restrictions regarding honey (assuming no allergy), but since your personal surgeon is more familiar with you and your bleeds, he / she should be also contacted for clarification.
