Hetrazan 100 mg is commonly prescribed when testicle swelling is suspected to be due to a filarial infection or inflammation related to it. If your doctor has examined you and advised Hetrazan, it is generally appropriate. For a medical fitness test, temporary swelling due to infection is usually not a major issue once treated, but you should complete the full course of medicines and let the swelling settle before the test.
