Urologist 's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query.
Swelling of the spermatic cord is due to chronic infection of the spermatic cord (Funiculitis)

Consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine Routine
2) Ultrasound of the scrotum

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily for 10 days.

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.
