| Aphthous ulcers are the most common oral lesions among children. These lesions are usually recurrent, painful, and interfere with eating and drinking ability. Honey, as a natural product of honey bees, is a well-known wound/ulcer healer. To test the effect of honey supplementation on the recovery time of aphthous oral ulcers. : This was a randomized case control clinical study, conducted on 50 children recruited from the outpatient clinic of pediatric hospital of Ain Shams University. All patients were subjected to history taking especially as regards the the onset and duration of oral lesions; physical examination especially the number of oral lesions. The pain severity was assessed by the pain score (VAS-10), the number of daily doses of acetaminophen and the eating and drinking ability. All patients were tested forblood HSV1 IgM. Patients were divided into 2 groups; each consisted of 25 patients; Group (A), in which the patients received honey; both orally and topically, in addition to acetaminophen as a pain killer, and Group (B), who received only acetaminophen. Follow up of patients was done every other day until complete healing. | ||
