Answers:
The active ingredient in many cough drops is menthol or eucalyptus!. Those won't kill you but they will make your vomit smell better if you eat too many!.

Due to the perfumes or colognes people wear at my job I can get asthma or bronchitis attacks!. I used to use a lot of cough drops to relieve the throat swelling and later had to have a lot of dental work!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

It can be yes!. There is a small amount of medication in cough drops so it is possible to overdose!. More likely the drops will not work when you do have a cough because the germs will be used to the medication!. Instead of cough drops try vitamin C drops!. You can't OD on them and they taste better!. Plus when you have a cough you can treat it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I doubt it will hurt you if you eat too
many cough drops in a short time frame!.
The worst thing that will happen is you will
get an upset tummy!.
That being said, treat all medications with
respect, take only the recommended dose!.
Even herbal medication can harm you if
taken in excess!.

Take care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
