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

We don’t unfortunately.

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.

Which I appreciate! LOL I’ve been getting better. Slowly.

We care. And yes, you are moving in the right direction.

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.

In that case, I agree. A hard candy (contains sugar) is not a good thing to try if you need to avoid sugar. And I can see that rules out many versions of cough drops and cough syrups, too. I had guessed there might be an allergy to one or another ingredient, but I hadn't thought of the sugar itself being a problem.

Several brands have sugar free cough drops and I'm sure you could find sugar free hard candy too

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

Give it a try! I have a friend who's in radio and he says on-air people drink it constantly. They talk for a living and they swear by it.

Yeah, it really limits it.

I have sugar free cough drops but they don’t work great.

You're welcome!

There's also these "Earthley Cough" "tincture" of sorts that my family has. It kinda works for me, but Mom says it works great for her. You might want to see if that'll help you. It's sold online.
