Thanks! That’s good to know! I might have to try that.

No, you shouldn't. Unless it's sugar free.

They do make sugar free cough drops.

Take fresh ginger, chop it up and make tea with it. It's an anti-inflammatory, which may help the cough.

Thanks!!!! Excellent idea!!!!!!

Good point.

I have some of those but they’re not working very well anymore maybe I should try the dry mouth drops I have. Also sugar free.

I also wish I could say I didn’t have a cough

Have you tried Throat Coat tea? It has slippery elm, licorice root, and marshmallow root, which help coat and relieve throat irritation.

Is this related to soothing a cough, or is it related to the general idea of sucking on a piece of hard candy?

I don't know of any reason to avoid sugar when you have a cough, unless you're going to avoid the sugar at other times too.

I think I have some of that but have never tried it

I have diabetes and am supposed to be avoiding sugar (but I’m really bad at it ) so I’m pretty sure he meant the general idea.

If you are diabetic, sugar should be avoided.

@ShrekDawg is a diabetic.

If you have blackberry plants, chewing on or making a tea from the leaves also helps. Just make sure to not get any with spines

This. Dawg has poor impulse control. She's not my Kid, but there are a few parents around here who rub her nose in her bad habits.
