Do u have acidity issues ? ... Also hexidine or betadine gargles can both help in maintaining good oral hygiene ... But consult ur doctor if u have issues with burning sensation in chest , acidity etc ... Sometimes exaggerated reflux issues can cause coated tongue and bad breath

It is better not to keep rubbing or cleaning the tongue with fingers or tongue cleaners.
Drink plenty of water and rinse your mouth well after eating anything.
Using medicated liquiids for gargling can sometimes cause a change in oeal flora.
