<bot>: Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your question and I know that you are very concerned about your child. Most common cause of pain in legs in 4-year-old child is hypocalcemia. In my opinion, you should do calcium and phosphate levels and X-ray wrist app view to look for rickets. I don't think that it's a Hodgkin lymphoma, however if you want to rule out it, then you should do a complete blood count with peripheral smear. I hope this will help you. Take care.
