What is swallowed a cough drop whole?

Swallowing a cough drop whole can be potentially harmful as it may cause choking or blocking of the airway. The active ingredients may also dissolve too quickly in the digestive system and cause adverse effects such as stomach pain or diarrhea. It is important to follow the instructions on the package and either suck on or chew the cough drop before swallowing. If a cough drop is accidentally swallowed whole, it is recommended to drink plenty of water and monitor for any symptoms of discomfort or difficulty breathing. In severe cases, seek medical attention immediately.
