Hi,
Thank you for your query.
The description given by you suggests either of the following two things:
1. Inguinal hernia.
2. Epididymo-orchitis.
As the ultrasound suggests inflammation we go by the diagnosis of epididymo-orchitis. However it should have been relieved by the antibiotics. In case the swelling is persisting the diagnosis needs to be reviewed. I suggest that you get his haemogram and repeat ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your husband all the best.
Regards,
