                                According to a 2012 review published by the Cochrane Library, moderate-quality evidence suggests that honey may be slightly better than no treatment or diphenhydramine for providing symptomatic relief of a cough. But is honey and lemon better than cough medicine, like dextromethorphan, and when should you choose one over the other for your soothing needs?
