My 7 year old grandson has been having Right leg pain. It comes and goes .. he says it hurts. In his knee and upper thigh. Is this common with little boys? he just went through a growth spurt and recently had his tonsils out. . Could this be something serious?

dear madam
your grandson may be having growth pains
some gentle massage and mild pain relieving syrups should suffice .
if it continues to hurt then is is advisable to visit a pediatrician and get it checked for any other issue like osteomyelitis
