A member asked:
Why does my throat feel irritated when i yawn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is inflammed: Would be like stretching a sore on your skin. There are a myriad of potential explanations for throat inflammation: from cancer to gastric reflux to persistent postnasal drip. If ongoing for long and no concurrent cold, would recommend seeing a physician.
