Your Doctor is...: 48 y/o female says, My tongue coated yellow, white and cannot be scrapped off. Dr told me to use nystatin, after 4 days still coated but not bad. How long till better? Maybe a little while longer. Your Doctor is correct. Listen to your doctor. The duration of the coating depends on many factors but your Doctor is best disposed to guide you till resolution.
