HonnyBrown, the poster taking all the Halls. A couple of months ago I had a really bad URI and was sent to a ENT. They told me that any cough drops with menthol, eucalyptus or camphor in them are bad for you. Those ingredients cause irritation to the skin and make the situation worse, which leads you to take more and more. He gave me a sheet of recommended cough drops without those ingredients and I can't remember them all but one was called Thayers and the other was Ludens. After that I was sent to an appt with a pulmonologist because my cough wasn't going away and the first thing he asked me is "you aren't taking cough drops with menthol, camphor or eucalyptus in them are you?". Just wanted to pass that along.
Thanks, Irshgrl31201, for passing that info along. Many might (and obviously) think cough drops are harmless, but they are far from it. All the additives & dyes. Might be OK a couple here/there, but 200 a week? Just the calories & sugar (15/each) for the regular would equal close to a pound a week! And the sugar free would have TONS of aspartame...yes, FAR from harmless!!! Addictive, very, very addictive!
