Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have problem of white plaque on tongue dont worry you do is firstly dont take stress so much stress causes many problems .

Use tongue cleaner to clean your tongue .
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
Use chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily

Consult dentist and go for oral examination for white patch on tongue it can be Leukoplakia or Lichen planus due to stress disorder .

Hope this will help you.
