A member asked:

I have had a bad cough with post nasal drip for 1.5 weeks now have trouble yawning. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If..: If this is getting worse it is time to see your doctor for an exam, diagnosis and treatment. I am not sure what you mean with trouble yawning( when you yawn you start coughing?) This could be bronchitis, a complicated sinusitis, pertussis, pneumonia.
