What are white tongue symptoms

2018-11-02 12:35:24
I am a 34 year old lady. I have suddenly developed white tongue and the whitish coat doesn't go with basic oral hygiene also. Sometimes it also smells bad. What is this white coating on tongue and what do I do for it? Is this due to some major illness?

Hello This is sounding like oral thrush. Any other medical conditions such as diabetes etc, will have to be taken into account before confirming the diagnosis. Take care
