Brief Answer:
You need to take appropriate antibiotic

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .Based on the facts that you have been diagnosed to suffer from Prostatitis and taking Norco since 2 years .

Ideally Norco is a drug that is been prescribed as pain management .It does not help to eradicate infection which is the prime cause for infection of Prostate (prostatitis) .Moreover taking these drugs for long period have hazardous side effects .

I would suggest you to consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Serum PSA.
4) Swab test and culture of Urethral discharge obtained after prostate massage .

This will help us to find out the root cause of your prostatitis and guide us to take appropriate antibiotic to eradicate infection.

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
