White coating: Having been on antibiotics recently makes a yeast coating of the tongue a possibility. It is also caused by enlarged papillae and debris from irritation, dryness, smoking, mouth breathing or even alcohol intake. Yeast can be treated with medication in the form of mouth wash. Your Otolaryngologist can best evaluate,advise and treat you.
