Suggest Medication For Redness And Swelling Of Right Testicle.

my son is 11 and his right testicle suffered some trauma from jumping in the pool last Friday. He had a sonogram to rule out torsion and has been icing the area and taking advil for pain. He was told no running or jumping. It is still red and swollen and painful. How long will it take to be fully recovered?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for putting your query up at HealthCareMagic. I am sorry that your son suffered from an injury in his right testicle. Had I been able to look directly at it, it would have been easier for me to assess. But usually such injuries get recovered in 5-7 days or earlier. Continue the cold compress and the pain medication. A support with a T-bandage to his scrotum will enable him to move freely without causing further damage. I would not recommend jumping at the moment.

I hope that helps. Feel free to revert back with further queries if any.
