Brief Answer:
You can take Levequin for Epididymitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query .

Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have been diagnosed to have Epididymitis.

I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Is diagnosis confirmed by clinical examination by a qualified Physician or Surgeon and Ultrasound Scanning of Scrotum?

Levequin is a second generation Cephalosporin and can be taken for Epididymitis .

I would suggest to take anti inflammatory medication like Diclofenac twice daily along with Livequin .

Ensure to drink more water .

It takes long time for Epididymitis to get cured hence you will need to take medications for 3-4 weeks .

Thanks and Regards.
Dr.Patil.
