Hi
You are lucky that your swelling has been reduced.
As orchitis is subsided ,swelling is reduced.
But,it takes time for epididymitis to get resolved completely.
Continue with antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs till complete resolution takes place.
Get ultrasound scrotum regularly.
Please remove athletic supporter if it is causing discomfort.
It will get cured,but time cannot be specified.
Wish you speedy recovery
Regards
