Pictures you have sent does not show any signs of oral thrush but it shows simple coated tongue. Oral thrush is a fungal infection and usually responds very well to treatment. If does not have any symptoms no treatment is required and just gentle tongue cleaning is sufficient
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist or oral surgeon for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
