Why Is The Pain In The Throat While Yawning And Swallowing Without Tonsils Being Swollen?

My tonsils dont appear to be overly swollen but the last few days i have found that when i yawn its very painful and feeling like my throat is closing up almost, in the first day of this when i swallowed i could feel as if theyre was something moving up and down in my throat

hello. please get your throat examined as there may be some enlargement of the uvula , which is a central structure hanging in your throat. meanwhile you can start warm salt water gargles. thanks
