How to cure white tongue with spots

I am a 38 year old lady. I have a whitish tongue since a few months. Now there are some patches seen on my tongue since a month. What could this be? What is the treatment that I can do for this? Does this need medications or will it settle on its own?

White tongue is often related to oral hygiene. Your tongue can turn white when the tiny bumps (papillae) that line it swell up and become inflamed. Bacteria, fungi, dirt, food, and dead cells can all get trapped between the enlarged papillae. This collected debris is what turns your tongue white. Some of the conditions can cause white tongue: -poor brushing and flossing -dry mouth -breathing through your mouth -dehydration -irritation, such as from sharp edges on your teeth or dental instruments -fever The cause of the white tongue needs to be determined and the treatment to be started accordingly. Some cases resolve on their own and other need conservative treatment
