Dropping temperature will reduce pulse

It is!

Normal heart rate is about 100 per minute in a 2 yr old, IIRC.It will go up a bit with a temperature.

It might take a while for pulse to drop.
keep an eye on it and keep them cool.
Offer fluids as well, it'll all help.
If you're still worried call NHS24/Doc on Call
