This would be well within the range of normal for an ill kid his age. A rate elevation of 10 beats per degree F of fever is standard. It could simply from the sore throat & fever. If he is uncomfortable have him evaluated.

Test for Strep and treatment for an acute sinus infection may be considered. A community acquired viral infection is also possible. Does your son have swollen glands? Continue to monitor temperature and breathing and offer soothing fluids. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available.
