Patient's question:
I took antibiotics yesterday, but I found out that I have a cold. I want to know how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, colds are caused by viral infections of the upper respiratory tract. Antibiotics are antibacterial and cannot treat viral infections like colds. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
