Q: front neck muscles and jaw sore when swallowing and yawning. feel inflamed. muscle or cold coming on?

: Hard to know with this limited information. Muscle could be the cause but would have needed some reason for it to be overworked. Enlarged lymph nodes from infection or reactive inflammation are more likely. See a physician if this has persisted.
