HI.
The discoloration of the tongue in your case can be due to medicines, coating due to oral bad hygiene, oral thrush or so.
get probiotics and oral application of anti-fungal lotion.
Have a gargle at bedtime.
Do not be harsh to the tongue by over-cleaning it as it may cause more trauma and further complications.
