Hi,
If you are living in area where sun cannot reach or you have very less exposure of sun. Then it is may due calcium and vitamin D deficiency, which is quite common in young children. You can add some milk and eggs in his diet. Further increase his sun exposure. Also, you can do Serum calcium and serum Vitamin D level from laboratory. After which we can add medication.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
