During any acute inflammation it is normal to have increased heart rate. Especially in children heart rate is more than adults and it is not a cause for worry. Once infection is treated he should be alright
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
