Q: just had a pretty bad case of the stomach flu, most symptoms are pretty much gone, but i looked at my tongue today it is is covered in this white stuff. is this normal from the stomach flu or?

: White coated tongue occurs very frequently with many infections and other medical conditions. This is entirely normal. It should clear up in a few days.
