Hi,
Gonorrhea or chlamydia may cause epididymitis you can try alternate antibiotics like Doxycycline or Azithromycin.
Your sexual partner may also need treatment at a time. If symptoms not improved please check it out for other possibilities like mumps orchitis or hydrocele etc.
Please consult your surgeon, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
