A member asked:

Can an elderly person with bacterial bronchitis have 1 or 2 spoonfuls of honey to ease their throat and hoarse voice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

YES: Dark brown ( brown/black ) honey has been proven to be as effective as many OTC cough products. Care must be used when addressing diabetic patients. I would suggest dissolving 1-2 Cold-Eze lozenges in tea and dark honey- very soothing and stimulates the immune system.
