Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.

Hi this seems like flu. dont worry. pulse rate tends to increase during fever as fever increases basal metabolic rate of the body.
Consult a physician for medications like - Antibiotics( Amoxycillin tablet 500mg thrice a day for 7 days) , antipyretics (Acetaminophen 500mg only when fever is there) to bring down fever along with Advil (Ibuprofen) that he is already taking.

Drink lots of warm fluids and water. Warm Salt water gargle may be helpful.

Regards,
Dr.Riyanka
