Hello and thank you for reaching out to Pet Coach about Odin. Without knowing the specific type of cough drops he ingested I cannot make specific recommendations about how toxic they may be to him. Some cough drops can be very toxic to dogs. My best and safest advice is to call Pet Poison Helpline 855-886-7965. You can give them the exact type of cough drop ingested, your dog's weight, and his symptoms. They will let you know if you need to seek any medical care for him right away. There is a small fee for Pet Poison, but it is worth it in my opinion for peace of mind and safety for Odin. Best of luck.
