Will Ciprofloxacin Treat Wheezing And Ear Pain?

I have had a pretty bad cold, lots of phlem, coughing, blocked sinuses, and a wheeze when I exhale.

Cold is getting better, but wheeze still there, ear hurts when I pop it. Also headache until my sinuses started to clear up. Have been taking some Ciprofloxacin that I had left over from a previous UTI.
