Tongue coated in white stuff that came off with some scrubbing of toothbrush, finished flagyl 5 days ago, can flagyl still be causing side effects?

Yes: Now that you know you have a tendency for yeast, take probiotics whenever you take antibiotics.

Some: Flagyl is a potent antibiotic that will impact your oral and gut bacterial ecosystems for awhile. Consider probiotics now that you're finished with the med to hasten a return to normal.

White tongue: Lots of stuff can cause white tongue. I'd first consider encouraging a healthier oral environment. Is your mouth dry. Could be mold growing. Evora oral probiotics and baking soda scrubs on teeth, tongue, and gums. Drink lots water. Get cleanings from hygienist. Careful if your sodium sensitive to baking soda bc could effect blood pressure.
