Needs urgent ultrasound

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Testicular injury can be dangerous.
It is better to get ultrasound done.
This will ensure that the testes are normal with intact blood supply and to rule out any blood clot.
Till then continue ice application.
Wishing your child good health and speedy recovery.
