Honey matched pharmacological antitussives for children's acute cough, and beat them on sleep

A meta-analysis of six trials and 576 children found honey no worse than antitussives across most endpoints and better for the cough's effect on a child's sleep. Given what paediatric antitussives cost in adverse effects, no worse is the argument. An international Delphi has also settled a consensus definition of neonatal encephalopathy.
