hello,
it seems that your problem may not be a simple thing as relux. if the white film is there for more than three months you need to be more carefull. try the following:
1. consult an ENT who may suggest a small procedure called the biopsy of the muscosa of the tongue and throat.
2. get a complete history from your partner, it may help in the diagnosis
3. we need to rule out any infection which can lower the immune status and cause the white coating which may be candida as you suspect
take care
