Patient's question:
A 6-year-old child has a swollen and red testicle that hurts when touched. How is it usually treated effectively for a swollen and red testicle?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of the child are considered to be testitis, primarily caused by bacterial infection, which can lead to redness, swelling, and pain in the testicles. Medication to reduce inflammation is required. It is recommended to give the child Amoxicillin granules, as a full recovery usually requires a continuous course of medication for about a week. Rest is important, and the child should be given plenty of warm water. The diet should be light, avoiding spicy, irritating, and greasy fried foods. Pay attention to hygiene of the private parts and keep them clean and dry. Male urological diseases are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to seek treatment at professional and regular hospitals promptly, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results.
