Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your explanation is pointing towards oral yeast infection or Oral Thrush. It is a fungal/yeast infection and causes white coating over tongue and also can cause inflammation of tongue papillae.

So first of all you need to get the infection treated and for this you should gargle with Nystatin mouthwash and suck Clotrimazole lozenges. Also take Fluconazole table for 15 days. Eat more of probiotics like yogurt and garlic. Drink sufficient water and maintain a good oral hygiene.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
