I been havin this coating on my tounge for a couple of months now. The tip of my tounge always stays pink and a strip in the middle of my tounge but the rest of it has a very light white coating and theres some yellow in it. I brush my tounge, i use a tounge scraper but it wont go away and i also have PND and a bad taste on my tounge too. What could it be?

You could have thrush which is a yeast infection.
Google it.

The papillae (the little hair like issues) on some peoples' tongues are longer than others and don't shed so frequently. so they could get somewhat long. Then they could catch tiny food debris and previous saliva and it is what makes the tongue look white or bushy. in case you smoke, that could make it worse. The coating can get stained via food which may make it look yellow or different colorations. you are able to attempt brushing your tongue with a comfortable toothbrush once you sweep your tooth. it quite is puzzling to do it without gagging yet once you persevere you get used to it. you additionally can gargle now and back with diluted hydrogen peroxide, which froths up and style of bubbles the coating off.

There are many possibilities from your description. Have you been on antibiotics recently? It sounds as if it could be Candida, which is a fungal infection You should be seeing a Doctor ASAP and I will leave you a website you may want to visit, there is a free test you can take at home. However an MD should look at your tongue to make a diagnosis.Keep seeking help for this condition Do not procrastinate, it is important to take care of your health, Best of luck and get well soon.

Dehydration! Drink more water and less alcohol! If you're not eating enough too the same thing would happen, therefore leaving a nasty taste in your mouth and a horrible stench! Halitosis, nice!
Try chewing minty fresh gum, not only will it get rid of the bad taste in your mouth, it'll stimulate your saliva glands and might get rid of the white nastiness. Worst comes to worst, consult your doctor, they know more than i do!

THE PND (post nasal drip) COULD BE CAUSING THE BAD TASTE AS WELL AS THE YELLOWISH APPERANCE IS MOST LIKELLY RELATED TO THE PND. SEE AN EAR, NOSE,AND THROAT DOC.

You could have a form of an infection, I would say if brushing it doesn't help use listerine for a week and if that doesn't help go to the denist.

You could start off by knowing how to spell the part of you that's bugging you so much. I mean, if you can't put even that amount of attention towards the problem, you're in for trouble.
Enough said.

It sounds like Thrush. You have to go to the doctor and get some swish and swallow to get rid of it. It will make your mouth sore and it is contagious to other people.

Are you taking antacids or eating anything else that is about those colors? I think you're eating something that is staying on your tongue.
