What causes red and inflamed testicles in infant?
Patient: 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? Doctor: 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.  Regards, Dr. Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
