I've been sick for well over a week. My sweet husband went out and got me some cough drops. Before I took one I checked the nutritional information on here and one drop has 12 cabs alone. Just really surprised my husband and I.

    Aw...what a nice a hubby you have.

    I don't think Halls or Chloraseptic Lozenges have any....according to the MFP data base. Sucrets has 2, Ricola is around 3 depending on the flavor.

    Hot lemon mint tea helps. It's what I'd drink back in the day when I sang choir concerts.

    It's a bummer being sick. Get well soon.

    I saw a pin on the pinterest for making your own herbal drops. Of course...being sick I'm sure you aren't all about the DIY. I know I wouldn't be :persevere: Get well!!

    I ordered online some chewable multivitamin and got the same as you! LOL! and I know better, I didn't read the label online. Half my daily carb intake in one pill....going to give them away...

    THIS! I had gotten some chewies because they're the only multi that doesn't make me nauseous and I can't take them anymore :( I also had some Halls Soothers, which aren't cough drops, but just meant to moisten your throat, and had to give those away as well.

    My chewable vitamins never crossed my mind. 4 carbs!

    Yeah mine were the "gummy" type. I looked again and I was mistaken, they were actually 8g sugar. That's still high.

    Wow!! That's really high!

    Here's what I do for a sore throat:

    1. gargle with warm salt water, multiple times a day. (Dissolve a tsp of salt into a cup or so of warm water.) (I THINK the reason this works is the salinity makes a hostile environment for bacteria. All I know is, it works!)

    2. Drink lots of warm liquids.

    3. (Important!) Rest your voice until your throat is no longer sore.

    Hope you feel better. HTH
