A member asked:

I'm having prostatitis. age 24. doctor gave me antibiotic levofloxacin 750mg for 7 days. can epididymitis also be treated at the same time with this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prostatitis: The epididymitis is not usually bacterial, so taking Motrin or sometimes steroids can help an exception may be chylmydia where a z-pak would help.
