Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have developed Epididymitis and have been taking antibiotics. It takes long time for epididymitis to get cured .You have to take antibiotics and
anti inflammatory drugs at least for a month to get permanent cure. However there are chances of getting repeated episodes of epididymitis even after taking treatment. If left untreated it may cause infertility.
