Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. If it comes out without much force, probably it is not a cause for concern. Most often coated tongue occurs due to a fungus called candida which manifests if the immunity is low. Applying Candid (clotrimazole) mouth paint should help in its resolution. Taking colorful fruits and vegetables regularly will help in boosting your immunity. If you have any specific presentations do not hesitate to inform me and I would guide you accordingly.
Let me know if I could help further.
