A member asked:

Hi when i yawned today i felt the muscles at the bottom of my jaw pull, then later that day i got pain on 1 side of head when swallowing talking etc ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Muscle pull jaw/head: Over-stretching" a muscle can lead to immediate spasm/pain. After those symptoms resolve, there can be recurrent pain when moving the same muscle in a normal fashion (such as with swallowing or talking as you described). A very wide yawn can trigger symptoms like this. Nothing dangerous but certainly annoying.
