Earlier I was telling myself it had been two hours and I could take another cough drop. Then about 20-30 minutes later I took one. The thing is, after I finished it, I realized I had been talking abiut taking one earlier. And I actually forgot if I took one that half hour earlier.
Now, if I did end up taking two in that short period of time (because you're only supposed to have one every two hours), um, what would happen??

Nothing to fear, no significant event will happen to you...only the COOL sensation in your throat and mouth.
SCARED OF OVERDOSING?....Halls cough drops contain an active ingredient MENTHOL which requires high dosage to overdose.The reported Menthol lethal dose in human range from 50-500 mg/kg bw. So what is your weight? Example, a 50 kg person can overdose by taking 2,500 - 25,000 mg of menthol. The Hall cough drops contain "5 - 7" mg of menthol each.
If your throat is pretty itchy, dissolve one drop in your mouth slowly and you can repeat it every hour.You won't be able to tolerate to keep on taking "too much" of it I am sure. So do not be scared.
(If I have sore throat, I usually keep a drop in my mouth all through the 8 hour shift on duty....Just take note: that could give extra calories!)

Not much. Although, Halls, depending on the type, are medicated, they're not strong enough to cause any damage to your body by taking two in a short period of time. Note, I say this not as a doctor, but from my own personal experience. Anyway, there's a change you stomach may feel a bit loose, but you'll be alright within a bit. Don't stress it.
