What Could Swelling Of Testicles, During Cold Infection In Children Suggest?
My child is 4 years old! After developing a severe dry cough due to cold, which lasted for a week, we noticed that his left testicle has grown swollen! There are some signs that the swell is reciding but the pace is in our opinion rather slow! Do we need to consult a doctor about this or we should wait a few more days? Thank you very much for your answer in advance! Concerned parent.

Hi
With cold episodes swelling of testes suggest inflammation of tested called orchitis mostly of viral origin. Viral infection should subside on itself in a week time. You can wait and watch for sometime.
If he develops excruciating pain with increased redness or bluish discolouration around take him immediately to doctor that is something different needing immediate management.
