Hi,
It seems that your son might have developed orchitis. That may be responsible for redness and swelling. His appetite is reduced. There may be tenderness. You immediately consult surgeon for firm diagnosis and treatment. Antibiotics for two weeks with anti inflammatory drugs woul help to recover the condition. I hope you got my answer,
Thanks.
