What Causes Pain In Legs And Arms Of A Child?

I have a question about my 8 yr old son..the last 3 days he was complaining of his legs hurting and his arms..today he says his legs hurt and he is feeling hot...he put his fan on and wanted an ice pack on his head. I was wondering if this is a sign of growing pains?

hi
always take it seriously about children's leg pain and fever, you should see a doctor to examine him where is the pain exactly is it from knee or hip or just legs, and investigations like blood markers to exclude infection, septic arthritis or tumor also x-ray may be needed.
I hope its useful
