Cough drops typically dissolve in the mouth as the ingredients mix with saliva. They are designed to slowly break down, releasing the active ingredients to help soothe a sore throat and suppress coughing. However, they can also melt if exposed to heat or if left in warm conditions for an extended period of time.
