Sugar-free cough drops



Recommended Posts

Of course I had to pick up whatever virus was out there when I was coming home from surgery this week. Has anyone tried sugar-free cough drops within a week of surgery? I'm wondering if the menthol is going to be extremely unpleasant or if I can try it. The "plain" cough drops have never helped and I need something for my sinuses, throat, and cough. Thanks.

I haven't tried these sugar free cough drops but I don't think it would harm you. You might also try herbal teas that are specific for cold and flu symptoms.

I was just sick with what sounds pretty similar. I am a HUGE fan of Ricola sugar free Lemon Mint cough drops. They were very helpful when I was sick last week. Although I was 6 weeks out from surgery. I hope you feel better soon!

Be careful. If you read the warnings on the Halls sugar free, if you consume too many it gives you the runs. I had a problem with that before surgery and could only think it would be worse post op.

Well, I already have the screaming trots so it wouldn't matter too much. It'll go away after I'm off antibiotics. Not even Probiotics are helping at this point.

I also love the Ricola sugar free Lemon Mint cough drops. I don't get the trots but I do get gassy which is a strange phenomenon!!

I also take the chewable Sambucol when I feel I am getting sick. They come in Black Elderberry flavor which always reminds me of Monty Python quote: "your mother is a hamster and your father smelt of elderberry" lol

Mngreeneyes hit the nail on the head. Ricola Sugar frees are the best. My daughter uses the Sambucol and loves them but I have not tried them .

Sorry you have this bug on top of recovering from surgery. Feel better soon.

I bought some Ricola cherry honey drops and oh my, I have severe cramps on the left side. No more cough drops for me until I'm surely healed up. Ouch!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
