throat lozenges
Medicated sore soothers
Throat lozenges are medicated tablets designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth, releasing ingredients that soothe sore throats or suppress coughs.
They typically contain menthol, eucalyptus, or mild anesthetics: I've been sucking on throat lozenges all day.
The terms cough drop and throat lozenge overlap considerably.
