Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the details.
* Orchitis suspicion remains as same.
* As fever was there, please take Tylenol(PARACETAMOL) 650mg 3 times a day after meals (if no
drug sensitivity).
* Drink plenty of liquids to prevent secondary bacterial infection in the urine.
* Immediate consulting with your healthcare provider is recommended as this
requires antibiotics for early resolution.
