Need To Take A Look: Yes, I can help. Get more sleep...Other than a bona fide sore throat or other irritation back there (from citrus or spices or too much heat or salt,etc) it may be that you are just yawning too hard or frequently.The tissues back there stretch when you yawn so naturally if there is irritation or stretched too far it may hurt.If it bothers you, get it examined.A visual inspection by a doc will help
