Tonsillitis can cause severe bad breath too.. please consult an ENT .. ur coated tongue could be secondary to your upper respiratory tract infection

Consult a dentist, get one round of cleaning done. Regarding white color of tongue. Use tongue scrape or tooth brush to remove the white layer over tongue. Regular use of mouthwash without  treatment being undertaken won't solve the issue and also might stain the tooth. Regarding tonsil stones, u will have to be on a strict diet avoiding cold. If u r prone to sore throat regularly, consult ENT and may be plan for tonsillectomy.
