Does Elevated BP, Blue Lips And Fever Indicate Viral Infection?

My son is 16, has juvenile diabetes, is very athletic - yesterday he went to tennis practice - with cold symptoms - got very light headed during practice, lips turned blue and had a 101.7(by mouth) last night. His blood pressure was slightly elevated last week. Think this is viral?

He has cold and fever with blue lips. He may have some upper respiratory tract infection. It can be viral infection or supra added bacterial infection or malaria. He should go for complete blood count and test for malaria parasites. He should take antibiotics treatment accordingly. For symptomatic treatment anti histaminic drugs like chlorpheneremine malate or cetrizine can be used.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
