A pastille or pastile is a type of sweet or medicinal pill made of a thick liquid that has been solidified and is meant to be consumed by light chewing and by allowing it to dissolve in the mouth. The term "pastille" may also define certain forms of incense.
One kind of pastille is a troche, a medicated lozenge that dissolves like a sweet.
