Possibly: If you have severe pain in the testicle you need to go to the emergency room now as it could be a torsion and you are at risk of losing the testicle. Otherwise you could have a possible infection or other problem. See your doctor to have testing done- probably a urine analysis and ultrasound. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/testicular-torsion/basics/definition/con-20033130

Possible: swollen testicle can be due to fluid collection , hernia or infection or more sinister things like twisted testicle . If its painful then you should go to emergency immediately otherwise see your doctor tomorrow .

See below : A swollen testicle should always be a cause for concern until the cause is determined. An "acutely" swollen and painful testicle, especially in an adolescent, requires immediate evaluation to rule out torsion, infection, and testicular cancer, though the latter is more often a painless swelling or mass. Other more "chronic" and less serious causes include hydrocele, spermatocele, and varicocele.
