Try to avoid processed drops if you can, stay positive and have warm ginger-honey water instead. Take care of your health, dear.

I totally understand how annoying a sore throat is! Try home remedies like salt water gargles first, as it's safer than taking over-the-counter drops.

I was so worried about menthol in Vicks drops that I called my gynac! She said one or two is fine but don't eat too many.

Honestly, a couple of cough drops won't hurt, but don't treat them like actual candy. Stick to warm water gargles if you can.

I actually had a sore throat last week and was wondering the same. Is ginger tea better? I avoided Vicks just to be on the safe side.
