All other tests are normal however his serum calcium is slightly more 10.7mg/dl, than the normal value of 10.5mg/dl. Is it something to worry ? Should he stop taking more of calcium based diet? Thank you

Its normal to take calcium based foods no issues ...blood test also ..so no worries..add some more green leafy vegetables, protein foods
Eat more protein ..less carbohydrate..to maintain good balance in diet ...
In our case no worries you can take normally..

Calcium levels are normal.....no need to worry.
Continue taking protein rich and nutrient rich diets for proper recovery and growth. Different lab will give different values of test. Post covid weakness may linger for 1-2 months & then subside eventually with proper medications and care.

This serum calcium is not a concerning increase at all. This is normal.
Lab thresholds are not sensitive for decimal changes.
Please continue a normal healthy diet. The calcium is normal.
For the leg pain, need more history ans information. Kindly take a consult online with a physician .
