Sore Throat Remedy #2: Cough Drops
A throat lozenge is a small medicated tablet that dissolves slowly in the mouth and can temporarily stop coughs or soothe the irritated tissues of the throat. When sucking on cough drops, the mouth begins to stimulate saliva production, which keeps the throat moist.
Ones that contain menthol and eucalyptus have a cooling and numbing effect that will benefit a throat that is sore more than ordinary cough drops. Consume them as directed, because some of the side effects of eating too many cough drops include rapid or shallow breathing, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and rapid heart beat or dizziness.
