Hello
Pain and swelling in testis need immediate medical attention.
It may be due to many causes like infection,mass,torsion etc.Antibiotics are not always helpful in all cases.
You need proper clinical examination and investigations.
Investigations include routine hemogram,ultrasound and colour doppler of scrotum,urine RE/ME.
Ultrasound can exclude many conditions like orchitis,torsion,fluid accumulation etc.
Treatment depend upon findings.
You should consult surgeon.
Get well soon.
