You need to get her examined by an ENT specialist as well as a dentist. As regards the conservative approach, advise her to try to clean her tongue with her toothbrush only after every time she brushes that is so that meticulous oral hygiene can be maintained overall. Maintaining a good level of hydration is also equally important. Regards.
