-
It depends on many factors. Was there any trauma to the leg? In that case the pain may result from fracture or damage to the joint.
Is there any swollen/red/painful joint? In that case the pain may result from inflammation of the joint. Prompt referral to medical treatment is essential since in that case, early treatment may make the save the joint.
Does he have any rash on his legs? Elsewhere on his or her body? Rash with pain in the joint may be due to rheumatologic diseases such as rheumatic fever, henoch-shonlein purpura and many others.
The causes are numerous, and I wrote only a fraction of them. Not to mention the fact that it's practically impossible to diagnose people over the net. Pediatrician is the address in this case.
Take care,
