You seem to be suffering from acute viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat infection. Usually if there is secondary bacterial infection green sputum is seen. You may need to take antibiotics, cough syrups and steam inhalation for faster recovery

I'm having trouble breathing and feel like I'm half yawning a lot for the past three days. I had corona about a month ago but don't have any symptoms of it now. I'm just yawning continuously, even after sleeping for 12 hours. I'm really worried and can't figure out what's going on. Can anyone help guide me?
