Patient's question:
Doctor, my son has recently developed an abscess in his epididymitis. He has been receiving anti-inflammatory injections, which have reduced the pain, but the lump is still there. Is it because the infection hasn't fully cleared yet? Even after taking the medication, it hasn't subsided. Could you please advise if a lump should be treated? I am very anxious. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
If the hospital carefully examines and diagnoses an abscess in the patient. This condition is generally caused by bacterial infection and requires the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics for treatment. Complete recovery from the disease requires a process. It is recommended to follow the doctor's prescribed treatment plan and pay attention to follow-up tests, which may include a blood test. In addition to ultrasound, please consult the child's attending physician based on the follow-up results.
