Cough Drops?

I am going shopping this weekend to get ready for surgery on 11/20 and I noticed cough drops on the list. Why do we need cough drops?

Thanks!

    During surgery the put a tube and balloon down your throat to inflate your stomach so they can get the band placed properly, after they take it out your throat is dry, scratchy, and some people even have a sore throat afterwards. It isn't like a "sick" sore throat but it is really scratchy. The cough drops are probably to help with this.
