Suggest Treatment For Epididymis And Scrotum Swelling
hi doctor iv had epididtymis and was prescribed levofloxcin for the most part the swelling of the scrotum went away but i still have tingling feelins in my hands and rectum, does a blood test and urine test also check for fungal infectios asweel as bacteria

A blood test will check for bacteria in the blood; you could also request a fungal culture of blood to detect a fungal infection. The same applies to urine.
The tingling feeling in your hands and rectum are non-specific symptoms. Do you still have pain in your scrotum? If you do it is likely that the infection is still there. But, from your description it appears that your 'epididymitis' has resolved.
