HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The swelling can be due to different possible causes, it would be best for him to be seen to rule out the more serious causes.
The most common causes are infection to the testes or epididymis, trauma with a traumatic rupture or hematoma, torsion of testes,hydrocele.
Examination of the testes and a possible ultrasound would determine the cause.
I hope this helps
