Hello
Thanks for query.
Epididymitis is bacterial infection of the Epididymis and can be cured with taking appropriate antibiotics .
Please ask your friend to consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following investigations done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Routine urine test and culture
2) Ultrasound scanning of the scrotum.

He needs to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily and later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.

Epididymitis takes long time to get cured hence he has to take medicines for along time say for 4 weeks.
