Cough drops primarily soothe throat irritation, but they can also help alleviate discomfort associated with an earache. When you have a sore throat or cough, inflammation can lead to Eustachian tube dysfunction, which connects the throat to the middle ear, potentially causing ear pain. The soothing ingredients in cough drops may provide temporary relief by reducing throat irritation and promoting saliva production, which can aid in equalizing pressure in the ears. However, they do not treat the underlying cause of an earache.
