First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study tested whether adding honey to standard wound care helps people with deep neck abscesses heal better. Thirty-six adults received either honey or a standard antiseptic solution on their wounds. Researchers measured wound size, infection levels, and healing markers to see if honey could be a cheaper, effective option.
