hi,

thanks for your question,

the commonest problems that would cause a child of this age to limp like this would be a toddlers fracture of the tibia or inflammation in one of the joints.

if his symptoms persist then I would seek a medical opinion for a physical exam and some investigations including blood work and X-rays.

best wishes
