Suggest Treatment For Epididymitis In A Child

my 9 year old son has been on cipro for epididymitis and has only 3 days left. he just saw doctor yeaterday and they did a urine sample cause he is still having pain and burning when urinating. the swelling of his testicle has gone down though. the doctor said that all this will just take more time. there was also still a timy timy bit of blood in urine the doctor said but less than the first test when this first happened. so i guess i am asking you if the doctor is corrct in saying that he just need more time to recover?

Dear Friend,
the epididymiitis is a internal infection which takes time to go.so it is good to know that your son is taking Cipro after seeing a doctor.so the decrease in swelling is because of good effect of this antibiotic.blood in the urine,i hope will be absent within a few days and your son will be free of epididymitis very soon.so I would like to say your doctor is quite true that he just need some time to recover.thank you and wish your son a good health.
