Cough cough cough… There is no doubt that you have been hearing A LOT of that lately, especially if you work in an office or spend a lot of time in stores. It’s the dreaded cold and cough season. As much as we try to avoid it there comes a time when we all end up with a cold.
Sometimes I think the cough is the worse part. It can keep you up at night, as well as other family members. It’s also embarrassing to have a “coughing fit” in a public place or at your work place.
It’s always a good idea to keep some throat drops on hand to help sooth your throat and help you keep the coughs away.
There are plenty of products on the market aimed at controlling coughs and soothing dry, itchy, sore throats. Personally I tend to stick with products that are tried and true, most especially ones I have been using since I was a kid. If my mom had faith in the products, so do I.
One brand, Pine Brothers, has been making premium throat drops since 1870. They are America’s original throat drop. Pine Brothers uses all natural ingredients. Their throat drops have a unique “softishness” that has quickly made Pine Bros a favorite among many.
A lot has happened with the company over the past year and they are expanding at a rapid pace. In addition to being available at more stores, such as Walgreens, they also have a brand new flavor – Lemon Citrus. The new flavor joins other Pine Brother throat drop flavors including Wild Cherry, Natural Honey and my personal favorite Licorice.
Pine Bros. throat drops are for the temporary relief of minor discomfort in a sore mouth and/or a sore throat. They are intended for adults and children over 3 years old.
To use simply let 1-2 drops dissolve in your throat as needed. Do not chew them.
If your sore throat lasts for more then 2 days you should seek medical attention just to be on the safe side.
What I enjoy most about these throat drops is that they have an enjoyable taste to them. They do not taste medicinal. They have a pleasant taste to them.
I also like that they don’t leave a numb feeling in your mouth or throat. I can’t stand those lozenges that make your mouth/throat numb. I want soothing relief – not numbing my mouth.
I like the new Lemon Citrus flavor. It’s a light flavor – not too strong. It tastes a bit more lemony to me than citrus but that is fine with me. It’s a nice addition to the Pine Bros. throat drop product line.
I like the softness to the drops too. Sometimes the hard throat drops can have hard, sharp spots on them that cut your tongue when you suck on them. Have you ever had that happen to you before? The same thing happens sometimes with hard candies. The soft Pine Bros. throat drop is a pleasant experience from start to finish.
Pine Brothers products are available at many retail locations across the country including Rite Aid, Safeway, Shop Rite, Meijer, Walmart, DrugStore.com, Kroger and Duane Reade. You can also purchase the products on the Pine Brothers website, PineBrothers.com. You can also find the brand on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
Pine Brothers throat drops are available in bags (32 drops per bag) and “pucks” (26 drops per puck). The pucks are great for keeping in your purse, backpack, desk at work and even your car’s glove compartment so you always have them handy.
Pine Brothers would like to give a lucky reader a nice assortment of Pine Brother throat drops – a mixture of all four flavors in both pucks and bags (retail value $52.00). Thank you Pine Brothers.
