Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Generally taste buds are pink in colour, but if you are mentioning that now they are yellow in colour, it looks that there is some infection still present there, you should continue with mouth wash as well as antibiotic at least for 5 days.
If it does not goes after that also or starts creating other problems also, then you should visit a good dentist.
Hope it will help you.
