If you’re looking for a candy-like drop, scroll on by. Vicks VapoCool Severe contains a whopping 20 mg of menthol, plus eucalpytol, and especially in winterfrost flavor is super cooling and numbing, making a painful chest cough easier to bear. One reviewer, saved from his “man-fluenza” by these, would have given them more stars if possible. Another said they are so strong that it’s smart to save the wrapper so you can take it out and pop it back in later.
People with chronic dry mouth and nighttime cough really appreciate these because they don’t have to get up out of bed to brush the sugar off their teeth. This sugar-free version of the famous Swiss herbal cough drops has 1.5 mg of menthol and also contains peppermint, thyme and lemon balm, for a slightly medicinal but not overwhelming mouth feel.
