What Treatment To Be Taken For Epididymitis?
Went to the ER for inflammation in my right testicle and pain in groin and swollen lymph nodes in my right leg. I had an ultrasound of my testicles. They said I had epididymitis. Now my penis is inflamed what can this be. I'm also being treated for H. Pylori and recently had lyme disease.

Hello
Thanks for query.
The pain in testicle and Epididymis is due to infection of Epididymis and Testicle (Epididymo Orchitis ).
You need to take broad spectrum antibiotics like Augmentin along with anti inflammatory medicine like Diclofenac and Serropeptidase twice daily .
Please note that Epididymitis takes long time to get cured hence you may need to take medications for 3 weeks .
Ensure to drink more water .
Avoid sexual activities till you get cured completely.
