How to relieve acute orchitis

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Mingchuan
Relief from acute orchitis can be achieved through several approaches: 1. Physical therapy: Apply local cold compresses using an ice pack wrapped in a towel for 15–30 minutes per session. This helps constrict capillaries, reduce inflammatory responses, and alleviate pain and swelling. 2. Medication: As directed by a physician, oral antibiotics such as amoxicillin capsules or cefixime granules may be used to inhibit bacterial growth and control infection. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules or diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets, can provide antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects. 3. Intravenous infusion: If the patient has fever, intravenous fluid therapy should be administered to replenish fluids and electrolytes, promote metabolism, and assist in reducing body temperature. Additionally, adequate rest and avoidance of strenuous physical activity are recommended in daily life to prevent worsening of symptoms. If symptoms persist or worsen, prompt medical attention is necessary.
