Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
Relax,there is nothing to worry.
These are growing pains which are commonly seen in children.
I suggest you to :
-massage his legs/do stretching/apply hot pack/give acetaminophen if discomfort is more.
In case it is associated with symptoms like:
Fever/pain in joints/loss of appetite then get him examined by doctor as physical examination will be required.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if you have any further question.
Wishing your baby good health.
Good bless....
