Background: Honey has been used in medicine since ancient times. Limited reports are available to indicate its antibacterial, antiviral, and antidiarrheal properties. This study aimed to determine the effect of honey on acute di-arrhea in children.Methods: This randomized clinical trial included 80 children with acute diarrhea. Forty children received honey and zinc gluconate (trial group) and 40 received only zinc gluconate (control group). After treatment, vomiting/di-arrhea duration, the recovery time, and the duration of hospitalization were compared between the groups.Results: Among the 40 children in the trial group, 19 were male and 21 were female. In the control group, 25 chil-dren were male and 15 female (P=0.26). After initiating treatment, the duration of diarrhea, recovery time, and the duration of hospitalization was significantly shorter in the trial group than in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion: This study showed that honey with zinc gluconate reduces the duration of diarrhea, accelerates the re-covery time, and shortens the duration of hospitalization.
