Suggest Treatment For Orange Film On Tongue And Bad Breath
What can I use to treat an orange film on my tongue?
I've had this for the past 4 months and nothing helps. I have used diflucan, brushing my tongue, antibiotics (Levaquin and Augmentin). I have diabetes type 2 for the past 12 years so this is not the problem. My breath smells horrible no matter how often I brush.
