White patch on tongu: Elongated tongue papilla also known as taste buds. Show this to your dentist or an ENT. They will be able to rule out a candidal infection that needs antifungals. Best thing to do is brush your tongue when you brush your teeth or use. Tongue rake can also be used. Good luck and feel better.
