Suggest Treatment For Testicular Epididymitis

I have been diagnosed with testicular epidermidis. My physician has put me on an anti biotic. Unfortunately, I take warfarin and am told anti inflamatory medication is not an option which would probably resolve the situation more quickly. What are other options? Need help fast. Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Antibiotics will reduce the infection and your physician is right in not giving anti inflammatory medication because you are taking warfarin. Tylenol (acetaminophen) causes minor interactions with warfarin. With precaution, Tylenol can be taken at low doses to reduce your pain and inflammation due to epidydimitis after discussion with your doctor. I hope you maintain your INR and get it checked regularly. Avoid getting hurt and always take tylenol under supervision when taking warfarin. Once the pain is under control please stop taking tylenol.
