Brief Answer:
Sounds like subacute epididimitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.

This sounds like subacute epididimitis and in this case pain may persist for more weeks even after the antibiotics are taken. However, it would be good to do testicle ultrasound to rule out some more serious causes. Also, if there is a need, he may do STD testing since some STDs may present as chronic testicle pain. WIsh you good health. Regards
