What do you do to prevent coughing?

Posted by:	PatrickHSF 09:14 pm EDT 05/10/15

I'm curious what others do to prevent coughing in the theater? I have a bit of an acid reflux problem which tends to irritate my throat and which can be exacerbated by dry indoor conditions. Chloroseptic lozenges are strong, numbing and effective but come in noisy aluminum foil packaging and need to be 'popped' out of the packaging. Ricolas are a bit less noisy but can still be distracting. Theaters ask patrons to unwrap lozenges and candy but how do you hold sticky lozenges which get even stickier and messier due to your body temperature? Putting unwrapped lozenges in a pocket is not a good idea, they collect lint, stick to fabric and stick together. Are there cough drop brands sold unwrapped in a tube like LifeSavers? Water can help a bit but sipping continually can be distracting. I'd rather have a good strong lozenge or two to get through an act. And there is no where to place a water bottle where it can easily re retrieved. I'm curious what others do and what brands of lozenges you use. Thanks!
