Pediatrician Dr. Huda Al-Jahafi said that honey is a healthy, beneficial, and complete food that supports the immune system, but it does not prevent infection.

Speaking in an interview with Al Ekhbariya TV, she added that children's immune systems begin developing at birth, but remain in the process of growth and maturation.

Al-Jahafi noted that antibiotics do not directly weaken immunity, and there is no single food that can fully support the immune system. She therefore recommends a balanced and healthy diet.
