No.

"Cough drops" are basically designed to soothe your throat. They do pretty much bupkis medicinally other than make your throat feel better.

There are some preparations containing zinc that some people think helps shorten a cold once you have one. I don't know how well they work prophylactically, though, because if the alternative to getting a cold is having the taste of zinc in your mouth all the time, I for one say bring on the cold.
