left side of throat hurts when i yawn and swallow

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well. I'm not a doctor, but I can suggest a few possibilities. One could be that you have a simple throat infection, which might cause discomfort or pain on one side. It could also be an indicator of tonsillitis. If the pain persists or if you see other symptoms like fever, headaches, or ear pain, it's highly recommended to consult a healthcare professional promptly.

That's possible! Pain can sometimes radiate from one area to another, so an issue with your teeth or gums could potentially cause throat pain. However, as it's only when you yawn or swallow, it seems more likely to be throat-related. But if you have any dental issues or if you feel any discomfort in your mouth, it would be best to get it checked out by a dentist.

While it's a good sign that you don't have a fever, persistent throat pain is still something worth discussing with a healthcare professional. If the pain has been going on for more than a week, or is severely impacting your ability to eat, drink, or talk, I would definitely suggest seeking medical advice.

Sounds like a good plan. Take care of yourself! Let me know if there's anything else you need help with.
