A member asked:
My son is 3 and has a fever of 39 and a resting heart rate of 138 rpm is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be "normal": It is very common for heart rate to increase with fever. A temperature of 39 degrees C is clearly a fever if measured correctly. A heart rate of 139 is not in the range of a dangerous rhythm.
