See a doc or dentist: you need to see your doctor,or your dentist,could be fungus build up,could be a digestive problem,they used to say,the tongue is the mirror of your inside.the smell could be a cavity,or again a digestive problem,how is your bowel,are you constipated,how is your dental health,do you brush your teeth and floss on regular basis. so go and see your dentist,or your doctor.
