A member asked:
Is it a good idea to suck on 1-2 cough drops every day to prevent sore throats?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Other idea: While sucking on cough drops is unlikely to be harmful and may help throat irritation, consider seeing a health care provider to assist in finding out why the sore throats are occurring. With that information, it may be possible to prevent the sore throats in the first place.
