cough drops

Medicated throat soothers

Cough drops are medicated lozenges designed to soothe sore throats and suppress coughs.

They dissolve slowly in the mouth, releasing menthol, honey, or other ingredients that coat irritated tissues and provide temporary relief: I always keep cough drops in my bag during cold season.
