Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic and thanks for putting up the query
This is probably oral thrush
Use hexidine mouth wash and candid mouth paint 3 to 4 times a day for a week.
Brush twice daily and clean your tongue with a tongue Cleaner.
All the medicines I prescribed are available only on prescription.

Wishing you a speedy recovery
