Today, I came down with painful sores in my mouth, just after having gotten over a cold. Apparently I'm allergic to the cough drops I've been eating for the past week to make myself feel better. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I've been sick with both a chest cold and a sore throat. As a result, I've also been dehydrated, causing me to have a headache. Whenever I cough, I feel like my throat is being ripped apart and my head is about to explode. FML
Today, I have what is probably a cold sore on my upper lip. I also have a mustache, which keeps rubbing against it. Because of this, no matter what I do, it stings. The next few days are fixing to be very, very long and miserable. FML
Today, I have a tooth infection that's spread to my jaw and ear. It hurts so badly that I'm practically in tears. Today's also the day I found out I'm allergic to the medication I was prescribed. Everything hurts, I'm covered in hives, and I can't stop throwing up. FML
Today, I'd finally had enough of feeling awful and went to urgent care. As it turns out, the reason my throat was sore was because I have a sinus infection. The doctor explained my nose is producing pus, and that's what I'm swallowing and coughing up. Yuck. I also have pink eye on top of that. FML
Today, I took a cough drop to soothe my sore throat, only to choke, gag, and spend the next ten minutes at the point of vomiting because the bitter lozenge got stuck in my windpipe. FML
Today, I found out I'm allergic to the pills my doctor prescribed for coughing, which I really need because I ripped a muscle in my stomach. Now my whole upper body is covered in a terrible itchy rash. I also found out it will last for at least another week. FML
Today, I have an excruciatingly sore throat due to chronic canker sores around my uvula. Every bite of food I swallow brings tears to my eyes. I had enough of dad calling me a wimp at dinner over it and shoved my food onto his plate. He's now faking allergies to food we've had for years, just to take the piss out of me. FML
Today, I was eating a mystery flavored candy and I had an allergic reaction. Not only did I have to go to the hospital because my throat swelled up, but I still don't know what I'm allergic to. FML
Today, during a series of violent sneezes due to a cold, I bit my tongue. My tongue is now so swollen I cannot close my mouth and am drooling profusely. I have to get ready to go to my job as a cashier. FML
Today, I have a rash all over my face because yesterday my boyfriend broke up with me. Apparently, I am allergic to the something in the tissues with which I was blowing my nose and wiping away my tears. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Are you sure it's not a herpes outbreak?

That's what I would think. Judging by my own allergies, reactions usually happen within an hour. 20 minutes is often long enough though. Unless she's been sucking **** drops and got case of the herpilyderpilies.

That really sucks OP but I am curious as to how you didn't notice that you were allergic to them by day two of sucking on them? I doubt it took a full week for any signs of an allergy to show.

Not necessarily. Certain allergies and food intolerances can be days before symptoms occur. Its a reason people don't often associate their sickness with the food.

I get what you are saying, but usually if you have an allergy that results in sore, or blisters the first signs show up within the first couple of hours. There isn't usually a several day delay because that reaction is generally a sign of a pretty severe allergy.

instead of liking cough drops you like huge long penis in your mouth. they make you feel more alive when your dad walks into your room and there are four guys all around you.

Exactly what I was thinking. I don't think it would take you a week to realise you are horribly allergic to something. Stop lying to yourself missy!

Herpes sores are usually on* the mouth area of someone's face, not in.

True, but I thought you could also get them inside the mouth? Bah, just don't go kissing people until they are all gone OP. :P

Could be a canker sore or a cold sore...your immune system is probably weak from being sick which is why the sores show up around then. Sores doesn't sound like an allergic reaction. But you can't tell though without getting them checked out in person!

OP never said only cough drops.

Oh, lol, at first I though OP was talking about her own saliva which she forcefully coughed up and then gladly swallowed again. At least she swallows.

please go to the doctor , you can never tell until you actually see a doctor! it could be more serious then that.

Mouth sores are actually signs of a cold leaving your body. It's perfectly normal, and you're probably not allergic to the cough drops.
