Anything in the mouth when asleep can cause choking and death. The child can have the cough drop 10 minutes before bed, then have the child spit out any remaining portion and you take it out of the room to throw it away.

No, no one should keep something in their mouth while sleeping. The risk of asphyxiation is too high.

Is it safe to leave a throat lozenge in your mouth to keep your head clear and help you sleep?

As you probably know, it probably is not safe to have anything in your mouth if you might fall asleep. If you use any type of cough drops or anything else like this to help you sleep you should stay on your side so you won't be at risk of choking. I used big oversized cough drops to help my daughter when she was still just a baby but I kept her on one side and help onto one side of the cough drop while she had the other side in her mouth and this is a whole different approach from what most mothers would take.
