Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
Both clavam and doxt can be given in acute epididymitis. Both have been proved useful. But some drugs suit someone, some dont. So if you were having positive results with clavam and having problems with doxt, you can stop it and restart clavam. You can take clavam for 5 more days.
Hope this was useful.
Regards.
