There are a lot of unknown variables in the question to give a really good answer. If you are talking about over the counter regular cough drops that are not medicated, then if you are otherwise healthy (e.g., not a diabetic), a whole box would be no more deadly than eating a lot of candy. You probably would get a sore tongue from the hard candy.

If, however, they are medicated cough drops, then you would need to follow the label directions on how many you should use in a given time period.

Yes, cough drops can make you sick. They make you sick because they have some sugar and sweets in the drops so when it sits in your stomach, the organs suck the sugar and oils up so it makes the sickness or cold even more worse. Only take a couple a day.

Well it depends on what kind of cough drops you are eating. If its like Ludens cough drops, you know the really good ones, then you can't, it's impossible.

Probably nothing. Most cough drops are the equivalent of hard candy, so they won't harm you.

Yes, you can. But the active ingredients in most are not toxic in low doses.

Symptoms of overdose include fatigue, headache, blurry vision, and digestive upsets.
