Hello,
It may be a food particles or infection or esophagitis or post nasal drip may appear like that. Some times digestive defects may lead a coating on the tongue and mouth. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. Use tablet amoxicillin and clavulinic acid 625 mg for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
