Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such symptoms can be caused by testicle inflammation, epidydimis, urinary tract stones. Cyst does not causes any symptoms if not filled with pus. Antibiotic seems a good choice, but it should be prescribed after some diagnostics. Urine analysis and full blood work should be done. The best antibiotic for such infection (if confirmed with this tests) is Ciprofloxacine.
If no improvement after antibiotic treatment, urine culture should be also done.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
