Since the urine stream is not good, rule out posterior urethral valves. Also rule out urine infection. The urine turning white on exposure to ground may be due to phosphaturia and is a benign condition and does not require any treatment. The serum calcium is high. Do a calcium, phopshorus and alkaline phosphatase and rule out hypervitaminosis D. An ionic calcium is also required. Also do urine calcium creatinine
