Hi XXXXXXX

First of all thank you for approaching Healthcaremagic for your query. I read through your query and reviewed the images. I must say that nothing to be worried in this situation. It can be due to candidiasis (fungal infection).

It can be treated by :
1) use tongue scraper
2) apply antifungal gel(Nystatin gel)
3) have lots and lots of water
4) take lot of citric fruits (orange, guavas)

Follow these instructions for one to two weeks. Besides all these stay happy and stress free. Happy face and cool mind can heal any diseases.

Hope I have replied to your query. If you have more queries, please be free to ask us.

Have a healthy day!!!
