Herbal medicines do have side effects

The answer to any "does this have side-effects?" question is invariably yes.

Some drugs/medications/herbal remedies will have fewer side effects, some will have more. Additionally (or alternatively), the side effects may vary by strength, or by how common they are, or any a number of other ways.

I could not find any listing of ingredients or side effects for the example herbal medicine you mentioned.

What about this diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill

I looked for your "one diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill", and found just that: a bunch of results about something literally named Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill.

It claims to have at least three different effects*; frankly, it is hard to know what, if anything, it does without knowing what the ingredients are.

There is a small Reddit discussion of the pill, which may be of interest.

Why might not antibiotics 'cure' prostatitis?

Acute prostatitis is often caused by E. coli, but chronic prostatitis is a bit different. Chronic prostatitis can follow acute prostatitis, but often it is abacterial- as such, antibotics won't be effective.

(That would be Category III prostatitis, in NIH categorisation, which overlaps with Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS)).
