I'm developing a cough and think i'm getting sick. does ludun's wild cherry throat drops actually help with throat irritation? what do you recommend?

Yes: While the cough drop won't effect the course of your illness, you may get some symptomatic relief by soothing the irritant receptors in your throat. Treatment for a viral cold involves basically symptomatic control by using medications for such symptoms as nasal discharge, congestion, fever, cough and sore throat. If the drops make you feel better, use them.
