I have been sick since school started.
My daughter entered kindergarten this September, (my oldest is in fifth grade,) and I have been sick ever since!
The first cold knocked me over before the second week of school and just a few days after I stopped coughing from that cold, I came down with an even worse one.
The ONLY good news in this sick story is that, fortunately, I discovered Zarbee’s this summer. And I am not exaggerating when I say that in the last two months, Zarbee’s has gotten me through many nights of coughing, cross-country airplane flights, and even photo shoots when I am trying not to cough on my clients!
(I have even been carrying a bottle of Zarbee’s with me in my purse!)
Zarbee’s was developed by one of the country’s top pediatricians, Zak Zarbock, M.D. In 2008, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) found it unsafe for parents to give any of the current children’s cough syrups to kids under the age of four. This left parents struggling with what to give their coughing child.
As a pediatrician and father himself, Dr. Zarbock was frustrated that he was not able to offer any relief to his young patients with coughs and sore throats. He set out to create a safe and effective natural remedy that he could feel good about recommending to parents.
Zarbee’s Adult Line of Cough syrups
This fall, just in time for cough and cold season, Zarbee’s expanded its line of children’s cough products and launched its brand new line of cough products for adults and kids 12 and up.
This new product extension makes Zarbee’s the only all natural cough solution for the ENTIRE family and provides a safe and drug-free alternative to treating coughs — the ailment that sends 30 million Americans to the doctor’s office annually.
This summer, Susan and I got to meet Dr. Zarbock and even had some fun fighting over who got to keep the Zarbee’s gift bags. We are both thrilled that Zarbee’s provides safe cough medicine alternatives for families — and that they really work!
What we love about Zarbee’s
Here are just a few of the reasons why we love Zarbee’s:
- All natural cough remedy for everyone in the family
- Zarbee’s does not contain drugs – no Dextromethorphan or Pseudoephedrine
- Zarbee’s contains no dyes, no alcohol, no artificial preservatives, and is gluten-free and dye-free
- Each dose of Zarbee’s extra strength products includes 100% of the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C
- The nighttime Zarbee’s formulas contain Melatonin so that you or your child will sleep more restfully
Susan and I are working with Zarbee’s to help other moms like us discover that we can FINALLY get the relief we need from these dreaded colds and coughs we get every year. All opinions listed are our own.

Almost a month with pneumonia
I had a cold a couple of months ago that lasted almost 3 weeks. For some reason I just could not shake it.
I’ve had a cold that went into a virus and I was sick for 3 wks. Last yr I had chemo for 5 1/2 months but that’s a different kind of feeling crappy. I’m fine now.I need some of this stuff. My immune system is low so I’m always washing my hands especially aftering shopping.Eww all those nasty germs! LOL!
Thank you for the great giveaway!
Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂
Probably 3-4 weeks with a cold that wouldn’t go away
About a month….cold then sinus infection….
I think around 2 weeks
Does a kidney stone count? I was nauseous and dying of the pain for about two weeks. It was horrific, so I’m glad that’s behind me.
Over a month! I had a cold that turned into a sinus infection 🙁 it wasn’t fun!
3 weeks with the flu

With congestion, about 3 weeks.
2 weeks is the longest.
probably about a week
Two weeks is about the longest I have been sick
Probably 3 weeks but every time I get sick, I have a lingering cough that continues long after the other symptoms are gone.
3 weeks with the crud
The longest I’ve ever been sick is probably a week.

I have been sick for almost 3 weeks now. I am so over it!
2 weeks straight, it was horrible.
3 weeks-it just kept hanging on and on
one week and that was way too long praise God

Believe it or not I have had some of my colds last for 5 weeks.
A few years ago, I was sick for weeks. Felt like I’d never get well again.
I once got poison ivy in my blood stream. I was so sick and waek for almost 6 weeks.
i had the flu for an entire month once… it was horrible!
About a week or so. Thanks for the giveaway.

Probably a couple of weeks. I used to have acute bronchitis.
I spent 4 weeks in the hospital and then 10 weeks recoving at home. Don’t want to go there again!!
Two years. Two years ago I caught the flu, and got a bit better. But, the cough lasted for two years. I would literally cough for 8 to 10 hours straight. Nothing helped, I saw multiple doctors. No one every figured it out. One day, I finally started feeling better and the cough went away. So, I had the flu for about a week and a half, but it took me two years to get over it.

I think it was about 10 days 🙁
with a common cold? like 3 weeks 🙁
I was sick for two weeks
two weeks it was terrible
The longest I been sick was 5 days
My colds will last for 3 weeks, some times longer.
Does morning sickness for 4 months count?
A cold can last me fo up to three weeks at a time.
2 weeks with the flu
Most of the time it’s 3 to 4 weeks for me.
About 2 weeks for me, thanks for the giveaway and feel better soon.
Two weeks or so…
3 weeks is my record!
The longest was probably two weeks, but the worst was when I had food poisoning. That was the most miserable 48hrs of my life… even worse than when I cracked a rib.
I am just getting over a cold that seemed to last forever….but really only about 1 week or so
Yes! Coughs and colds for 7-10 days.
a couple years ago we were all real sick. the little ones had croup. I think i was really sick for a solid week
I’d have to say sick for 1 week but another week until I felt up to par. Why is it that kids just bounce back after being sick?
I was sick a month ago for 2 LONG weeks. Worse I’ve had it in years. And my kids are sick right now so…..LOL!
For me it’s almost 3 weeks every time.
i have had a cough for amonth now

Probably 2 or 3 weeks. I used to get bronchitis every time I got a cold and it would linger and linger.
I get bronchitis a lot and it usually lasts about 3 weeks each time
A couple weeks – any bug I catch turns into an ear infection – my ears burst 3 times in 18 months. 🙁
A little over 2 weeks. Losing 8 pounds was the only silver lining!!
