Yellowish white tongue

2018-03-26 23:13:54
At first I had this white tongue, and I was able to kind of scrape off everything. Now it has turned white and yellow and is in the way back on my tongue. I’m not sure if this is HIV, yeast infection, oral thrush..

Please don’t worry, these are not signs of HIV. It may be due to acidity or stomach issues which can cause coated tongue. If it persists then consult a dentist if you are concerned
