It is possible you have thrush from yeast infection. You may clear it with good oral hygiene and mouth wash especially brushing your tongue, however there are medications for yeast infection and you may want to see your doctor for evaluation and prescription.

Sounds like possible yeast infection in the oral cavity. Consider urgent care appointment for confirmation & treatment.
