  • Via my doctor they are ok...you can also take Robitussin or Dimetapp DM! Hope you feel better love!
  • Thank you
  • Your welcome...how far are you?
  • I'm so glad you asked this question I need some my throat hurts.
  • Its good but try not to suck on them cus the sucking just irritates your throat more. Try getting something like a slurpy and letting it drip down your throat with the straw to make it numb cus really that's all cough drops do. Coughs really are a pain in the butt sometimes you just gotta wait them out.
  • Fresh Lemon & Tea with honey works for sore throat! I like to drop a cough drop in my tea...works great! ツ
  • I know green tea has caffeine but i was sick a lot in the beginning of my pregnancy and warm green tea did wonders. Lemon and hunny work good too. If u have been a good girl and banned urself from caffeine just do warm water with lemon and hunny. I would stay away from anything cold that's what will irritate ur cough more. Good luck
  • @brittbabiie I prefer a chamomile tea with honey when I have a sore throat. Starbucks has a chamomile tea called Calm and the aroma is so amazing, the flavor is perfect hot or cold as I tend to drink it over a few hours. I like a little sugar in mine, but the honey makes my throught feel much better.
  • Have any of you ever heard of someone getting a sore throat and ears from acid reflux!? The doctor in the er said that yday and I am still trying to figure out if he is a quack.
