ENT Specialist 's  Response
Hi and thanks for the query,
It is highly unlikely that the cough drop is still in the throat.
The cough drop probably injured your throat on its way down making you feel that it is still stuck there.
Do not worry. You will feel better in a fewhrs.
If you dont then see a doctor.
Regards, Dr Kishori
