Let’s face there is just no cure for the common cold. The only thing that we can do while you have this nasty thing is to try and combat the darn thing, and by that I mean taking a lot of different over the counter medicines. My wife just went through this cycle and it lasted about a whole month and she tried everything even going to the doctors several times. Since that did not work on her we found that it was just a waste of time and money so now that it is my turn to go through all of this sickness I am just going to just stay at home and take advantage of all of the over the counter medicines that she was taking. One of them that gave her a lot of relief was these cough drops from Halls, it was the honey and lemon flavored ones. They do make several different flavors but I like this on the best. You can find these in either a 30 count bag or a 100 count bag; each individual bag of 30 will cost you just two dollars a bag.

You can feel that mentho-lyptus formula start to work immediately after you put this into your mouth. Even though a lot of medicines taste really bad these little drops have a refreshing cool breeze feeling and the medicine that is in these drops will melt when the heat from your mouth melts the cough drop, and when you swallow it, it will open up your sinuses and help you breathe a lot easier. The usual medicines usually taste pretty bad but not these.

As far as I know they have cherry, honey lemon, strawberry, and lemon flavored cough drops to choose from. The really nice thing about this bag of cough drops is that they come in a re-sealable type bag so after you open them up, they will not spill all over you can just close them up just like a zip lock baggie. Since these are in a small individual bag you can fit them into a purse or your coat pocket nicely.

As long as you remember that these are for only for temporary relief of a cough, and to get relief of a sore throat, then you will be okay. These cough drops act just like the vapor action that you get from a vaporizer, they will open you up all inside so you can breathe easier.

The active ingredients of these drops are 3.5mg of menthol per drop, and the inactive ingredients are: eucalyptus oil, flavoring, glucose syrup, red 40, and sucrose. These also are only 15 calories per drop. These are self explanatory to use, just take one out of the bag and pop one of them in your mouth and start sucking on it and that is it. You should immediately notice some relief, and the only problem that you might have is that the irresistible temptation to chomp down on these drops and chew them up before they dissolve all the way.

I have trusted Halls all my life and have even given them to my children when they got old enough and now they are using them when they get a cold. Only let your children use these if they are at least 5 years or older.
