Question : My tongue is coated with some greenish stuff and I cough but nothing comes out. I had my gall bladder removed years ago and also have been taking nexium to treat reflux for years. This green stuff and accompanying coughing started yesterday.

Brief Answer:
Add Domperidon with nexium

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I have gone through your query; it suggests that green coated tongue may be due to the acid reflux disease.

I personally suggest you that
1. Add Domperidon with nexium.
2. Gargles with hydrogen peroxide.
3. Don't miss your treatment.

Thanks
