REPORT

Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that's used to treat bacterial infections and it is not effective against the viruses that cause cold and flu.

However, in many cases the flu or a cold can lead to irritation that may result in an infection, such as a sinus infection, so her doctor may have prescribed it, if she was showing signs of something like that.

Did she ask her doctor why it was prescribed?
