is it fine to give Manuka honey after bone marrow transplant.. my kid who got BMT 50 days ago had a cough... is it fine to give him manuka honey?

Andy Battaglia:
Have the doctors given you any dietary restrictions? If sweets are not restricted, manuka honey would be helpful.

kaleem:
doctors here put no restriction at all, even they say chocolates and canned juices can be given... therefore we are a bit careful what to feed the baby.. he actually got a diarrhea which according to doctors might be due to GVHD ..

CrazyPharm:
what would be the adult dose for the honey? thanks

Andy Battaglia:
A teaspoon or more per day is therapeutic. It can also be used on the skin to aid in healing of wounds.
