Ciprofloxacin is not a good drug to treat the upper respiratory infections. It is more or less reserved antibacterial drug. Other simple antibiotics like penicillin should be used to treat the upper respiratory tract infections. They are more effective than Ciprofloxacin in this case.

How do you treat an upper respiratory infection?

Upper respiratory infections can be caused by a number of things. If you feel that you have an upper respiratory infection you should remember to drink plenty of fluids and eat chicken noodle soup.An upper respitory infection is a viral infection that has noticable signs of runny nose, coughing, and fever. Antibiotics do not help at all, and if you have cyanosis (blue hue) around lips or fingernails, you act out of your normal mood, or you're not feeling good you should call 911 immediately; for it might be the URI.Cures are Humidity Controller, Mucinex, Tylenol and Ibuprofen.I am 10, and a child, so I don't know if any of these have adult forms or are child-only. All I know is that I learned this the hard way (except the 911 stuff).
