What Causes Red And Inflamed Testicles In Infant?
Hi, I was changing my babies nappy when i noticed that his testicles look very swollen and red. He is 7 months old, and is on amoxocillin at the moment for a chest infection. Do you know why his testicles are inflamed and what could be causing it? Should i be worried?

Hi,
Redness in the testicular region alone should never be ignored.
It doesn't appear like Amoxicillin induced rash.
It may be torsion.
Please take him to the nearest emergency room.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
