I have had a white coating on my tongue for a few weeks now and everything i smell and taste is disgusting. eating and drinking is very difficult because it is all gross. even when i breathe i can smell/taste it. what could be causing this?

This could be a yeast infection of your mouth and could signify other things. I would go and see a physician so they can take a close look at it and prescribe medication if you need it!
