Tachycardia: His elevated heart rate is due to fever. treat the fever with either ibuprofen or acetaminophen at appropriate doses, the fever will come down and so will the heart rate

Things to ponder: The heart rate during fever is expected to rise by about 10 bpm/degree/F. The rate you cite is not dangerous to his heart & reflects the bodies attempt to push blood with immune factors & white cells around to fight the illness. Cold fluids can help if the fever causes a drop in appetite but monitor his voiding pattern. Anything less than going every 8 hours is an early sign of dehydration.
