Can you put antibiotic cream and honey at the same time on a wound?
Rika, I would clean the wound and put triple antibiotic ointment ONLY on it. The practice of putting honey on a wound has been around since the time of the pharaohs. Honey has been found to have anti bacterial properties, which, while not nearly as effective as modern antibiotic ointments, was far and away better than nothing. I saw once where someone actually tested one against the other, by putting honey on a cut finger and antibiotic ointment on a similar wound. After three days, the ointment finger was nearly healed, while the one treated with honey was, though not infected, pretty far from being healed.
