Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have infection of the testicle (Orchitis)
Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Routine Urine test and urine culture.to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.
2) Ultrasound scanning of the scrotum.
In the mean while start taking broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefexine along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkaliser thrice daily.Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.
Ensure to drink more water.
Do not worry it will get cured within two weeks.
