Wow this is good to know. I’ve never been a cough drop user, never even ever had a cough drop in my 44 years. And I love fresh ginger. But I sure did not know this trick and am excited to know it now in case I ever have need of it.

Good job drinking the unsweetened ginger tea at home. What I do when I have to go out when I have a cough, instead of using cough drops: I cut up some fresh ginger into little bite-size pieces and put them in a ziploc bag to carry with me. I also carry a bottle of water. Then whenever I feel that scratchy feeling again, I chew one or 2 of those tiny pieces of ginger, follow with a sip of water, and I seem to be good for an hour or 2 before I need more. It works IMMEDIATELY, too, much more quick and effective than a cough drop.
