Did I break the one hour fast?

[AngelRose81]

I’ve been on 3 cold/flu prescriptions since Friday and I forgot to take them this morning before I left to go to Mass, including one prescribed for a cough. This morning at Mass, during the Gospel, I began to cough and could not stop, almost to the point of choking. The lady next to me gave me a cough drop and I went ahead and took it because I knew I wouldn’t be able to sit through the rest of Mass coughing like I was. Did I break the one hour communion fast or was it ok since I used it for medicinal purposes?
