Needs recheck: this is a serious infection, sometimes with resistant bacteria. I suggest a recheck and reevalaution with examination with perhaps a change in antibiotic therapy. Remember- no sexual relations until cleared.

May take time: It may take a few more days for the swelling to completely resolve. If it does not, or if you have increased swelling, redness, pain or fever, you should see your doctor.

Normal: Some degree of swelling and firmness will persist for a couple of months but will be gradually getting less.If pain gets worse go back to the doctor.A scrotal support is a good idea.Best wishes.
