Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child but don't worry.
By what you quote it seems that your child probably has got acute gastroenteritis or food poisoning.
Increased heart rate is due to fever.
Once fever comes down, heart beat will become normal.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
