Does levofloxacin have an effect on orchitis?

Patient's question:

Recently, I have developed orchitis and it's extremely itchy, unbearable. Hello, is levofloxacin effective for treating orchitis?

Doctor's answer:

Orchitis will never cause the symptom of itching again. Its main symptoms are redness, swelling, and pain in the testicles. If you are not allergic to levofloxacin, it can be used. If the symptom of itching reappears, it is usually common to have scrotal eczema, or it could also be a skin allergy. Levofloxacin is not effective in treating it, and a thorough examination is needed. If it is scrotal eczema, calamine lotion can be used for washing, which helps in recovery.
