The mother of a main character is lied to several times so she wont worry about her daughter
(This book is very heavy on the notion that women can be hysterical)

Characters drink medicine on accident that makes them fall asleep. There are also other uses, but all medicinal, that I can remember.

it's implied. vampirism and the exchange of blood is a metaphor for sex throughout this novel, so there's a scene that could be interpreted as sexual assault. another character is sort of hypnotized and coerced into sexual actions with vampires

No one is drowning or choking, but while a character is being preyed on by dracula she is often short of breath.

There is significant medical ableism as one would expect from the late 1800s, but the R-slur is never actually used.

There is no actual possession, but a character's personality changes after death in a way that may be similarly upsetting

A character has symptoms of PTSD such as flashbacks, but since the novel was written before PTSD was an official diagnosis, it isn't explicit if they have it

A crying baby is mentioned (and that baby dies), but as it's a book there isn't any audio of crying babies.

Mostly not explicit, but vampirism draws on some anti-Semitic stereotypes eg "fear" of crucifixes and blood-libel (children are drained of blood).
Towards the end, the only explicitly Jewish person is an ally of Dracula and described as loving money and having a nose “like a sheep”.

A mental institution features including mentally ill patients mentioned. As it is set in the 1800s this is pretty ableist and uses some very outdated and offensive terms

There is no on-page sex. Some of the vampiric aspects are meant to evoke sex (particularly in chapter 3 and 21)
