Patient's question:
Hello, I am a patient. I have orchitis and just turned 26 this year. Since then, I have been experiencing persistent fever. I have been receiving intravenous drips for orchitis for more than half a month, but my temperature is still not coming down. I feel that this condition is very serious, and I don’t know what to do.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it should be the symptoms of balanitis. The basic principle of treatment is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. Generally, it requires both internal and external treatment. For acute superficial balanitis and annular erosive balanitis, erythromycin and tetracycline are the first-line treatments. I recommend you go to the hospital for a smear test to see if it is caused by fungi or bacteria. If it is fungal, I suggest you apply topical antifungal medication. If it is bacterial, apply topical erythromycin ointment and take azithromycin orally for treatment.
