hi, you have probably pulled a muscle. your throat contains many skeletal muscles which reacts the same way as any other when positioned abnormally. They relax over some time may be in a day or two after which you will be fine. you may take a pain reliever like brufen 400 mg tablets for 1 or 2 days. Hope this helped.
