How to Choose the Right Lozenges for Your Sore Throat

Throat lozenges, also known as cough drops, sore throat sweets, troches, cachous, pastilles, or cough sweets, are small items designed to be slowly dissolved in the mouth and are intended to produce a topical, rather than systemic, effect in the throat to halt coughs and soothe irritated throat tissue likely due to a sore throat or strep throat often caused by cold or flu. Cough tablets were named lozenges due to its origin from a diamond shape.
