What should be done to get rid of the fluffy coating on my tongue after infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brush your tongue: After you brush your teeth, you should brush the surface of your tongue to also disrupt/remove the bacteria on the tongue. So, the best answer is to brush your tongue. It may make you gag initially, but the more you do it, the easier it gets.
