Suggest Remedy For Testicle Swelling After Having Doxycycline

I took doxycycline and it seems as if my testicle shrunk, and now it seems as if there is swelling in the opposite testicle. I took doxycycline for ten days, is this normal? Will my testicle return to normal size? Should I worry about sterility? Is this normal?

dear friend

what did you take doxy for ? shrinking of swelling testicles is not a side effect of doxy in fact it is used sometimes in treating epididymitis.
maybe you were having epididymitis in one testicle which resolved by taking doxy, you need to be a bit more specific in the question for us to be able to provide you with an answer
