Question
Pediatrics: How should one handle soft lumps in a child’s testicles?
Answer
Soft lumps in a child’s testicles may be a symptom of epididymitis, usually caused by bacterial or viral infections. Since the immune system of newborns is not fully developed, it is advisable to take the child to a doctor immediately for antibiotic treatment. Parents should provide adequate care and attention to help their children receive timely treatment and avoid delaying the condition.
