Can honey cure a fever?

No: No, though honey has many good qualities, fever reduction is not one of them.

Not likely: Although there are very special types of medicinal honey that are sometimes used to help treat infected wounds, taking honey by mouth has no medicinal properties. It may be soothing to a sore throat though and taste good too!
