Most Effective Cough Drops to Soothe Your Cold, Flu and COVID Hacking

11. Wedderspoon Manuka Honey Immunity Lozenges

So here’s the thing: A strong immune system depends on a lot of factors, including how you eat and sleep, exercise and manage stress, and simply taking a cough drop with ingredients that have been shown to be supportive of immune function will not speed your cold or cough away. That said, these lozenges contain vitamin C and zinc, both of which you need enough of to keep your immune system functioning optimally. Plus they taste great and coat your throat, which helps a cough relax.

12. Lolleez Organic Sore Throat Soothing Pops

Cough drops are a choking hazard for little kids (and bigger kids who run around with them in their mouths), so the lollipop formulation of Lolleez is helpful (though please note that these are for ages 3 and up). These do not contain any medicine or painkiller, but they do have pectin, which coats the throat and temporarily relieves irritation, which can lead to coughing. These are organic and made from honey and lots of juice concentrates. They come in three flavors, insuring that your children will argue over them, just as when they’re feeling healthy!
