The Chinese medicine believes that honey is a nourishing and warming medicine, which is not suitable for taking when you have a cold, and will lead to lingering illnesses and prolong the course of the disease. Experts remind us that cold medicine is best not to drink with honey.
Honey has the effect of moisturizing the lungs and relieving coughs, and is suitable for dry lung coughs. If you have a cough with little sputum, or little sputum and sticky, or dry cough without sputum, you can drink honey. However, if you are taking antipyretic or cold medicine with antipyretic ingredients, you should not take honey at the same time.
Many cold medicines contain the antipyretic acetaminophen, which will form a complex with honey, affecting the body's absorption rate, thus reducing the effect of fever.
