Based on fats that you have posted it appears that he has developed infection of the testicles.

He needs to get examined by qualified general surgeon for clinical examination and get following basic test done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and urine culture

Till then you can give him antibiotic and anti inflammatory medicine like Diclofenac .
