General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Experiencing frequent leg pains is not related to tonsils or adenoids. Your son might be having calcium deficiency, which could be the cause for frequent leg pain. Growing children need calcium in excess as compared with adults.
Kindly supplement him with calcium rich diet by giving milk.
Also, you can supplement calcium regularly, which is available in the form of syrup.
Gradually, he should be relieved of such symptoms.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
