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.
