White tongue from a month

2021-08-29 15:16:50
Iam having white tongue from one month and iam not able to understand what is the reason. I have tried using mouth wash but it is not subsided. I got throat pain 3 days back and one doctor in Practo prescribed cefpod 200 mg, zerodol sp,Montek lc and I have completed the course for three days and my tongue is currently as in the pictures attached. It is still white . What could be the reason?Is that a symptom of covid.?Should I go to doctor or will it subside on its own? Please suggest doctor.. thank you...
