hello

it would be difficult to guide without investigating it. have you undergone an ultrasound of scrotum? if yes then please share result. if not then i would suggest you to once visit hospital and get it done. further management will depend upon the test result. Pain in testis can be due to a number of causes including varicocele, cyst & torsion. thank you

Brief Answer:
Naproxen, will help for pain relief

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank you for contacting HCM.

Bactin is antibiotic. At the moment as you are having pain so i would suggest you to take Naproxen twice a day. It will help you in resolving pain BUT at the same time i would strongly suggest you to once get ultrasound scrotum done to rule out testicular torsion & varicocele if pain is persistent and severe in intensity. This medicine will give you a temporary relief and is OTC.

Hope i have answered your query. If you have any followup query then feel free to get back.
Wishing you Good Health.
Thank You
