Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Just from stomach pain and white coated tongue not suggest h.pylori...

Yes it seems gastritis like condition but h.pylori should be confirmed by some investigation like urea breath test which is non invasive simple easy test .....

If positive than take treatment for that containing ampicillin , clarithromycin and omeprazole .....

If not positive than simple omeprazole taken ..

Endoscopy and biopsy useful for h.pylori final confirmation if needed ....

Avoid gastric irritants like excess tea, coffe, spicy foods etc....
Avoid smoking ...

Hope I have solved your concern...
