Hi,
Most probably it will be an epididymitis/orchitis.
However we have to rule out conditions like testicular torsion also.
As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
Consult a general surgeon and plan for an ultrasound with Doppler.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
