Epididymoorchitis:Residual cord thicken

2026-04-22 18:19:08
History: * Phase 1 (March 18): Started on Tab Faropenem and Enzomac. Condition worsened; swelling increased and high fever developed. ​Phase 2 (March 22 - March 28): Hospitalized/Put on IV Antibiotics (Ceftriaxone & Amikacin) for 6 days. Fever subsided and swelling began to improve. ​Phase 3 (Late March/Early April): Transitioned to Tab Zifi 200mg (Cefixime) for 7 days and Enzomac Plus for 10 days. ​The Gap: Following doctor's advice, stopped all meds for about 10 days. However, dull pain while walking persisted. ​Current Status (Last few days): Re-consulted doctor. On palpation, he noted a "thickened cord" but confirmed testicle size is now normalized/identical to the left. ​Current Meds: Restarted Zifi 200mg and Enzomac for a 10-day course. ​Symptoms: ​No fever (96.4°F). No back pain. ​Sharp, localized pain in the spermatic cord (inguinal area), specifically where the doctor pressed. ​Pain is positional: It vanishes when lying flat with legs elevated but "zaps" when lifting the legs
