Yellow tongue: Yellow tongue may be caused by an overgrowth of bacteria on the injured papillae of your tongue. Avoid coffee or alcohol and brush your tongue frequently.

Tongue: Bacterial overgrowth can cause inflammation. Antibiotics can suppress bacteria and allow four fungal overgrowth. Brush tongue gently every day. If inflamed yellow area does not go away in a few days, see your Dentist.
