Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
Possibilities are Growing pains, worm infestation and hunger are there.
For the growing pains he can be given some analgesics and massage.
Deworming with albendazole.
Semisolid diet to be encouraged.
Iron and multivitamin supplementation will increase the appetite.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
