Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that Orange coating on tongue can be due to a few common reasons like food debris accumulation, proliferation of chromogenic bacteria, dyes present in medicines, acid reflux etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis..
As of now start gargling with 1:1 solution of hydrogen peroxide and water..
Do warm saline gargles..
Take more of hard foods like apples, carrots and other hard foods that help in cleaning the tongue and roof of mouth with friction..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
