Pediatrician, Neonatology 's  Response
Boys have a cord like structure that is in the groin and called spermatic cord.It carries the blood vesses and the tube for the sperm.Ther are 3 possibilites,your son has a bacterial infection in the testis,structure above testis or this cord which causes swelling and pain..Right now the doctor will give him pain killeers and antibiotics .its a must and he should rest .You can have a simle ultrasound done and in case swelling persists may need CT .Best of luck .should subside soon.
