Hi Doc, I Have A History Of Epididymis Infection And
Question: Hi Doc,
I have a history of epididymis infection and it has happened again. I am taking the following medicines since last 8 days but the recovery is marginal.
1. Norflox - 400 (Norfloxacin 400 mg) - Norfloxacin & Lactic Acid Bacillus Tablets
- Twice Daily (Morning & Evenign)
2. Disodium Hydrogen Citrate Syrup
- Diluted with water, 2 spoons thrice daily
Please suggest if I must continue with the current medication or change to Ofloxacin or something else. The swelling isn't much but I do experience pain now and then. The pain is bearable not out of control. I am just a little scared. I always feel my stomach swelled or bloated.
Considering what's happening around us (COVID19), I have my reservations to go out and physically see a doctor. Please suggest. Thank you for helping me out and let me know if you have any questions for me.
