yes. something could be going on. normal heart rate is 60-100. a child's heart will tend to be closer to 60. normal respirations are 16-22. again a child is on the lower end. i would seek medical attention if his is on the higher end. i'm in nursing school and a child is so different than an adult their status can change so much more than an adults.
if 6 year old child has fever over 100 f and tachypnea and tachycardia should he go to er?
