This could be the effect of the infection or also of the medications prescribed for your illness. I will advise to go conservatively and have patience for a few days. Clean your tongue meticulously with your toothbrush only without the use of tongue cleaners and maintain a good level of hydration.
These kind of symptoms are normal in the convalescent stage and if they do not subside in 7 to 10 days you can consult an oral pathologist for a case evaluation.
Regards.
