Hi.
Epididymoorchitis take the maximum time to heal due to its typical structural placement. Continue the medicines , you are on the right tract.
Please so not ice the area, this area is not meant for this.
Also ask your Doctor about the anti-inflammatory medicines .
Have a good scrotal support.
I would advise you to go for further tests if not already done.
Ultrasonography with color doppler study.
Urine culture an sensitivity.
