A member asked:

Lately i've been having flu like symptoms(headache, nausea, runny/stuffy nose, coughing and sore throat). but now the back of my tongue is yellow..?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yellow tongue: This may be inflammatory secretions from the back of your throat, but in order to diagnose this it must be seen in person. Best wishes.
