Suggest Treatment For Fungal Infection In Tongue
Question: Hi, I have had bad breath for about 1 and a half year now. I suspect it is coming from my tougne. I scrubbed off the nasty yellow thingy on it every day a few times. They seem to be the same substance from blowing my nose. I recently bought a camera that can go inside my mouth, taking videos and etc. I was gross out at what I saw. Please help me understand what the situation is so that I can finally get to the end of it. Thank you
