Epididymoorchitis:Residual cord thicken
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
