A member asked:
Why do i tears when i yawn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
normal: When you yawn, the opening of the mouth widely causes a compression of the tear drainage tubing next to the nose. If you have residual tears in your eye, this will cause them to leak over onto your cheek. This is normal and not a problem.
