Two possibilities: 1- the antibiotic course is not long enough or the bacteria partly resist the antibiotic. 2- epydidimitis is not caused by bacteria in your case.

Acute epididymitis causes a lot of swelling and pain. Chronic one is difficult to diagnose. Pl get a urinalysis. You might not have epididymitis and need to be seen by a Urologist. In the meantime drink plenty of water and wear a scrotal support
