Suggest remedy for fever and redness and swelling in scrotum
Patient: I have a 3 1/2 yr old toddler who has a fever of 100.0 and his scrotum is red and a little swollen. He s not complaining of pain or itching and isn t having any difficulties urinating. He s eating and drinking fine. What do you think it is? Thank You, Mammie of Bub Doctor: Hi,Fever along with redness and swelling of scrotum can suggest a diagnosis of acute epididymo orchitis (infection of testes) or less commonly a scrotal abscess. As these conditions usually need antibiotic therapy, I will recommend you to consult your doctor. Meanwhile, you can paracetamol for fever.Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
