White coated tongue

2020-10-05 07:11:30
Hello Doctors! My mother is having white coated tongue since the last few months. It's been 6 months now. The problem is  not constant. It keeps on reappearing again and again. There is also a slight crack effect on tongue. Is it just oral thrush, as she has already done her medication for it. Or it's something more complicated?
