Possible hydrocele: Most common cause for scrotal swelling in toddler boy is hydrocele which is a benign collection of fluid around testis. Commonly associated with incomplete testicular descent. Can also be caused by an inguinal hernia. At this age rarely from testicular torsion associated pain & redness, & an emergency requiring immediate treatment. V. rarely from testis tumor. Consult pediatric urologist/surgeon.

Hydrocele or hernia: With no injury, fever chills etc probably hydroelectric (sac of water) or hernia. Need to check with Urologist to be sure. May need surgery. Both are quite common.

Here are some...: Has the scrotal swelling appeared since birth or just recently? The commonest cause for one-sided scrotal swelling is so called communicating hydrocele with indirect inguinal hernia which usually appear at or right after birth. If still present at 20 months of age, see pediatric urologist, if possible, for considering surgical correction. More? Ask Doc timely.
