When you find that sweets seem to make you cough - you're probably right. The sugars cause a constriction in the windpipe catching saliva along its regular path towards the stomach. When that moisture is near the bronchi, respiratory nerves react by coughing. A stiff shot of whisky without ice will relax and literally wash away the sweet. There are also many drugs that do the same - but intended for other applications. Anything that relaxes the windpipe will stop the coughing once the sweets are cleared.

Can you die from eating too many cough drops?
There are a lot of unknown variables in the question to give a really good answer. If you are talking about over the counter regular cough drops that are not medicated, then if you are otherwise healthy (e.g., not a diabetic), a whole box would be no more deadly than eating a lot of candy. You probably would get a sore tongue from the hard candy.If, however, they are medicated cough drops, then you would need to follow the label directions on how many you should use in a given time period.
Why do sweets make your jaw ache?
I actually asked my chemistry professor this!! It hurts because when you eat food, particularly sweets, the food/sweets become acidic with your saliva and eats away at the enamel. And usually, people who eat a lot of sweets usually feel this pain because the enamel is worn thin (or sometimes its thinned from hard brushing or poor nutrition) and the food/sweets is eating away at the dentin, and later becomes a cavity.
