What Causes Fever And Fainting Spell In A Child?

Last week, while playing in the sun for just a few minutes, my 8 year old son nearly passed out- cold to the touch, lips blue, limp. We poured water over him, gave him plenty to drink and a banana. He fully recovered within 10-15min. This week, he s a temp for 3 days of 100.6. The temp goes down and stays down with ibuprofen, but is back the next day. Are these related?
