I have had sinus draining in the throat, yellow coating on tongue, yellow roof of mouth since December. Seems almost like some kind of allergy, I don't know.
It doesn't get worse so I'm not worrying about it. I rinse and gargle with hydrogen peroxide, bubbles like crazy when it hits my tongue.

Just try to take things a day at a time.  I recall around week 7 was a rough time for me, since the meds had reached peak absorption and still adjusting to the full effects and new sides.  After some time things began to level off, or maybe I learned to tolerate and it became the norm.  Stay focused on getting through each day and the weeks will begin to click by.  You can do it.

The chronic cough and shortness of breath are common side effects of Inf/Riba.  You might talk to your doctor about taking an antihistamine to reduce the post nasal drip and cough reflex.  I take claritin which helps this.

Also, I see you're able to post under your original name so good to see you got your posting problems worked out.
