question: Hi,My son had his ruptured appendix removed Sunday morning. Infection was severe and he was in the hospital for 5 days, coming home this evening (Thursday). He has, since coming home, noticed his right testicle has swollen slightly and is tender to the touch. Is this normal? He is 19 and very healthy. This is his first brush with an emergency, ever! The nurse at the after hours number was exactly zero help.
