Hi,
I cannot say in your particular case, but generally, it is a respiratory infection. Irritation at the bottom of the lung causes pain with deep breaths and bending. Infection in upper respiratory track causes hoarseness. Infection all over is usually viral and could be COVID.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
