Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
He has a fever which would cause an increase in heart rate and may also be associated with slight changes in his respiratory rate.
He should be seen by his doctor to determine the cause of his fever. The most common cause is acute upper respiratory tract infection (common cold) but his doctor would determine this by examination.
I hope this helps
