How to determine if treatment has been effective?

Patient's question:

My glans is red, swollen, and painful, accompanied by a burning sensation. It has been like this for four or five days. Wearing underwear causes more pain due to friction. Now, I feel the condition has worsened, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor diagnosed it as balanitis, and I am currently undergoing treatment. How can I know if the balanitis has been cured?

Doctor's answer:

Males reappearing with glans inflammation treatment requires understanding in several aspects. The first is the selection of cephalosporin drugs, and the second is quinolone drugs. Generally, the treatment of glans inflammation is determined based on the following aspects: whether the surface appearance has recovered, without symptoms, redness, swelling, or pain; the second is whether the bacterial pathogens and microorganisms have been cleared; the third aspect is that laboratory test results can confirm it.
