Why do you feel like you have to yawn or pop your ears when you are sick?

Yawning is simply a biological response of the human body for getting to inhale more and more amount of air in lungs so that the body can extract enough oxygen required by the body muscles for particular instance.
You may call it as reflex of simultaneous inhaling and stretching of ear drums. It ia also a method to vent out the excess of carbon di oxide accumulated in the body and for that expulsion the body needs to inhale a lot of oxygen, so the human has to inhale in the form of yawn.
Another Answer
In many head colds, the Eustachian tubes can become blocked from mucus and/or swelling. When this happens, the pressure difference between the middle ear and ambient atmosphere cannot equalize. Slight pressure differences are noticeable and can be annoying. Greater pressure differences can be painful.
