Hellooo...
Thank you for choosing HCM.
I dont think you should give him a calcium syrup or tablet twice a day, just a multivitamin tablet would be fine. Keep him on a high protein diet and ask your son to do basic stretching exercises , engage in playing basketball and volley ball.
Thank you and take care
