Hello,
It may be due to stretching of muscles like cricohyoid and cricothyroid or platysma muscles while vomiting. So that's why whenever you yawning feeling pain lead to your gagging.
Use cold or warm compression. Use salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
