Pediatrician,  's  Response
an infant with excessive crying and irritability and red or sore testicle can be either of two things one of them is an emergency:
the first one is testicular torsion in which the testicle twist around its cord and cut the blood supply which can lead to lose that testicle of not surgerically corrected within 4-6 hours
the second one is epididymo orchitis which is the inflammation of the testicle and it can be due to viral or bacterial infection
so I highly recommend going to the emergency room right now and doing dappled study to the testicle to exclude torsion .
