Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on the description, it appears that your husband could be having infection in the testis called 'orchitis'.
What treatment he is receiving is fine with a course of antibiotics and antiinflammatory medications. He should consume good quantities of fluid and give scrotal support adequately. Applying cold packs would help in the region to decrease the pain and swelling. It is advised not to use heat as it would aggravate the symptoms.
Kindly abstain from sexual activities for at least 3 weeks to allow the tissues to be back to its normal.
Kindly do the necessary follow-up as advised. Gradually, he should feel better and be back to normal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
