High heart rate when fever for 8 year
Hi my daughter is 8 year old and she has 103 temperature since day before night and severe cough has started since yesterday. Gave her p500. Fever is subsided and again came back. Gave relent and asthalin syrup for cold. I wanted to take her to doctor on same day but my husband wanted to see for 2 days and take her to doctor. Her heart beat is 135-140 while sleeping and temperature is about 101.3. Is it normal to have high heart rate while sleeping when kid with high temperature??
Today is Sunday no doctor is available in the city clinics. Kindly suggest.

For every degree temp (1degree Celsius increase in temperature above 37.5 heart rate increase by 10-15 beats). If heart rate is still high after fever is down better visit ER in nearby hospital
