How do you get rid of a white coated tongue?

Answer 1

See your physician or dentist, especially if you have other symptoms like redness or pain!

This could be a yeast infection (Candida albicans) which is fairly common in infants and children, and can be easily treated with anti-fungal medications.

It is important to see a physician or dentist in case they are underlying causes, or if the problem is a symptom a another condition. It is possible for this condition to spread to other nearby areas

Answer 2

You could have an infection called thrush, which is caused by yeast. One question to ask is if you've taken any antibiotics lately. They kill off your good bacteria and allow yeast to overgrow, causing the white on your tongue. Try eating a lot of yogurt. The healthy bacteria in yogurt may kill off the yeast. If this doesn't work, see a doctor, who will give you some antifungal medication. I deal with this kind of stuff for a living. good luck.
