Hi thanks for asking question.
Here possibilities of either pneumonia or it can be viral infection.
Do x ray if needed.The sputum examination for rule out infection can be done.
Do your CBC.If total count high with neutrophilia possibilities of bacterial infection.
But if lymphocytes more then chances of viral infection most likely.
CRP also helpful.
I hope i have solve your query regarding etiology of fever with fast breathing.
