Hi.
Surely the antibiotics are given for the cure and the dosages and the medicines namely Cefixime, Doxycyclin will certainly the medicines of choice in Epididymitis.
Aspirin is now reserved only for the cardio-vascular diseases.
Hence you should ask for other medicine like Ibuprofen or so as an anti-inflammatory and painkiller properties.
