Does a child's heart rate increase with fever?

My son is 9 years old. I want to know if a child's heart rate increases with fever?

Yes, the heart rate will go up with fever and that’s the way our body tries to bring the fever down. With fever going down, the heart rate also goes down.

Yes, it does. The heart rate will increase with fever. Once fever is gone, the heart rate should come down.
Yes, it does. Make sure your son drinks a lot of fluids to help keep it down.
