Summary

This study investigates whether Manuka honey can help reduce pain after tonsillectomy (surgery to remove the tonsils). Adults undergoing the procedure will take either honey or a placebo syrup three times daily for 14 days, alongside standard pain medication. The goal is to see if honey improves pain control and recovery, offering a simple, low-cost alternative to conventional painkillers.
