Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).

It can be viral or bacterial. This can be confirmed only if we do total leucocyte count and differential leucocyte count in blood or blood culture. However it can be treated empirically with antibiotic like ofloxacin and ornidazole which I found very useful in my patients

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
