there are multiple causes of limb pain during this age because it can be normal due to growth pain. 
it can also occur due to nutritional deficiency mainly vitamin d, vitamin b12 iron and calcium deficiency.
if there is excessive playful activity by the child during the daytime it is but obvious that during the night time there might be limb pain.
if the limbs are paining without any activity then yes medical examination and treatment will be required 
for pain also you can give paracetamol to the child and paracetamol can be repeated maximum 4 times per day( all fever medicines are painkiller). 
dosage of paracetamol is given according to the weight as well as according to the power of paracetamol medicine you are having.s
if it is not improving after 2 hours of paracetamol then only meet your doctor for examination and finding the cause of pain.
