Is it bad to eat cough drops even if you are not sick?!


Question: If you notice ,you find cough drops in the candy section of a grocery.. Reason being the job of a cough drop is to supply moisture to the throat and there by give relief from the cough.. Lubrication,is reason .. Some cough drops DO have other components in them, which could be many different things.. Glycerin, Eucalyptus,or aspirin,and decongestants... The more ingredients the more the questions of continued use.. The average cough drops in a bag in the stores are little more than sugar and color and binders.. The big question I would have is why wouldn't you want to eat gum-drops, or some other form of candy?? There's plenty of lozenges out there in candy that's half the cost of cough drops, and you don't have to worry about what's in them!! Hope that helps!! SOLOMON

It depends on the cough drops. Most cough drops only contain Menthol which won't hurt you - it's just used as sort of an anesthetic.

I eat the honey lemon ones all the time, especialy in church becouse it keeps my throat from getting dry, it dosn't bother me in the least.
