Patient's question:
Currently, it is still swollen and painful. I have already received intravenous drips for 6 days, using penicillin and cephalexin, taking azithromycin granules, and applying blood-activating and anti-inflammatory ointment. The condition has not improved. What are the common treatments for testicular inflammation?Doctor's answer:
The systemic symptoms of orchitis are somewhat similar to those of a cold with fever, accompanied by symptoms such as chills, nausea, and dry cough. These symptoms may reappear 3 to 4 days after a mumps recurrence, which can easily mislead men into thinking that taking cold medicine will solve the problem, while in reality the condition worsens. Dr. Long notes that common systemic symptoms of orchitis include high fever, chills, nausea, and dry cough. In the early stages of this disease, the symptoms are not very obvious, which often leads patients to fail to detect the illness in time. As a result, they may misdiagnose it as another condition. It is important for everyone to have a better understanding of orchitis. If you suspect you have symptoms of orchitis, it is best to go to a formal urological hospital for proper diagnosis.
