The whitish tongue could be because of lack of cleaning of the tongue. Do start cleaning gently with a toothbrush and see if it goes away. If it does and you are able to keep it clean then it isn't a fungal infection.
For the cracked corners of the mouth take a Vitamin B tablet everyday for a month. The Vitamin B levels should be checked after this to ensure an optimum level. Keep your lips moisturized and your body hydrated.
Please check you are are mouth breathing while sleeping. If yes you will need to consult a dentist for this Check if you nose is blocked.

Both issues are treatable so get help and don't worry
