Suggest Treatment For Tenderness And Painful Testicle In A Child

Hello, My 10 year old is complaining of pain and tenderness in his testicles. Please advise if this is something serious that requires a doctors visit, or it may be growing pains? I m sure that when the testicles drop it hurts and this may be the cause, but I m not sure how to treat it.

Growing pain does not involve testicles. Pain in testicles can occur due to a number of non-serious causes but there is a serious condition called torsion of testis which needs immediate attention. Please visit a doctor and get it examined at the earliest. A T-bandage would give him relief.
