I am on a 1200 calorie diet via my doctors orders. would cold remedies/cough drops come out of my calories for the day?

Yes: Every calorie counts- cough drops containing sugar- taken in excess certainly add up. The sugar and possible alcohol in cold remedies would also add up depending on how much you took. I think it would be negligible calories if you took less than 5 cough drops a day.

Yes: Check the label to see what the number of calories for each product you are considering. It a cough drop has 15 calories that needs to be subtraced from your total allowable calories.
