White tongue

2025-03-29 13:08:29
I have quit smoking recently, but lately I've been experiencing some soreness on the tongue and scratchy throat. I also have this white coating on the tongue which reduces when I scrape it. But it gets deposited again. ( Picture for reference ) What is it ? What should I do ? I'm worried.

Hi.. Your tongue looks normal but I can see sore throat in picture you shared.. Sometimes you could have acidity problems which could cause White deposit and bitter taste and sore tongue. If the symptoms continue please consult me through online.
