Hello
Thanks for query .

Based on the facts that you have posted the pain in testicles that your son has could be due to infection (Orchitis ) However the diagnosis can be confirmed only on clinical examination by a qualified Urologist .

Consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
