A member asked:
My tongue is coated white but throat is normal . had blood work done yesterday and it was normal. big red taste buds... is it thrush?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Often running a piece of dental floss across the tongue will remove this debris. If so, and if it isn't uncomfortable, it's probably not thrush / candida. Your physician would have recognized oral thrush as well. Don't make too much out of tongue signs -- they're famously nonspecific and often (usually) mean nothing.
