What are the Best Numbing Cough Drops Brands?
Do Cough Drops Numb Your Throat?
Some cough drops numb your throat; others are formulated simply to suppress your coughs. Cough drops with a numbing effect typically contain an oral anesthetic to soothe your throat and a cough suppressant to help stop the physical reflex that makes you cough. Halls Relief cough drops use menthol and honey. When you have a severe sore throat, the best throat numbing cough drops for you may be medicated. Options like MUCINEX InstaSoothe use active ingredients such as dextromethorphan HBr and hexylresorcinol to help stop your coughing and numb your throat.
What’s the Difference Between Numbing Cough Drops and Throat Lozenges?
Numbing cough drops are designed to help treat both throat pain and coughing; throat lozenges usually target just the sore throat. Lozenges often use anesthetics such as benzocaine to dull the pain sensations in the throat.
Though they're not necessarily intended to stop the coughing, throat lozenges often contain soothing ingredients that also act as cough suppressants. MUCINEX lozenges include honey, and Cepacol lozenges contain menthol.
How Often Can You Use Numbing Cough Drops?
Most manufacturers have a recommended maximum intake for medicated cough drops made with oral anesthetics. The dosage instructions vary depending on the ingredients; you can find them on the package. If you're taking other types of cold and flu medicine, make sure to consult with your doctor.
