Testicular inflammation diagnosed during a community health check-up—what is the best medication for orchitis?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Mingchuan
The patient should be treated with cephalosporin antibiotics for this inflammation. The patient presents with internal dampness and dryness; administering Gentiana (Long Dan Cao) can help achieve the effects of clearing liver heat and calming liver wind. Alternatively, cephalosporins or quinolone antibiotics may be administered. Intravenous infusion is recommended as the primary treatment approach, since orchitis develops rapidly and progresses quickly, and timely intervention is essential to avoid delaying treatment.
