Living with someone usually mean you share a lot of things. Including illness. My wife came down with a sore throat and plugged up ears and nose on Tuesday. Within 24 hours I had caught the "crud" as our family doctor calls it, as well. It seemed to be just a head cold with a sore throat. To remedy the discomfort, we turned to Hall's Cough Drops.
Hall's could afford to scale back on the menthol taste, but I know that's what provides instant relief. My nagging cough actually decreased in frequency once I had the logenze in my mouth, but I noticed that it worked only as long as it's in there. After about 15 minutes, the menthol taste started to gag me so I threw it out.
I recommend Hall's cough drops, but be prepared for that super menthol blast. Next time I think I'll try the Breezes, which are supposed to be a bit sweeter.
The bag was $1.29 for 20 drops. Generic was $0.99.

I didn't find the menthol taste all that repulsive - in fact it was rather soothing to my poor congested head!
Fisherman's Friend, my brother. Fisherman's Friend. Trust a sailor; the blackcurrant ones are nice, and the menthol wallop is significantly toned down. On the ships, these were lifesavers to the whole crew, when the Dreaded Gamboo took hold.
