No. Cipro ONLY works on bacterial infections. When you catch a cold or the flu you do not have a bacterial infection, you have a virus.

No antibiotics work on any type of viral infections.

You could, but there is an increasing frequency of resistance to Ciprofloxacin by the most common bacteria responsible for acute sinusitis.

No, Cipro is an antibiotic for bacterial infections and will have no effect on colds. which are caused by viral infections with adenoviruses.
