Why The Two Sides Of My Tongue Have Yellow Coating On It?
Hello, Lately I've noticed towards the sides and black of my tongue there is a yellow coating. I've been brushing my tongue harder but it hasnt went away.Now i just looked in the mirror and noticed a little red spot towards the front. What is going on with my body? Can you please help?

Yellow coating is not a acute worrisome condition ,if it is dealt with properly.It can be due to a variety of factors including poor oral hygiene,fever ,dehydration,digestive problems,certain medicines and many others.
*I would advice you to clean your tongue regularly with a soft toothbrush or a tongue scrapper.
*If you smoke or take tobacco ,stop it.
* Drink lots of water and keep hydrated as this will also reduce yellow tongue.
* If you have any issues with digestion ,get it treated with your doctor.
*Increase fiber content in your food and start with multivitamins.
If the yellow tongue and related symptoms are still persisting ,visit you Physician for further investigations and treatment.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
