Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the soreness and the white patch on the tongue could be secondary to the hepatitis c viral infection and it can also be superadded with fungal infection like candida....nothing to worry, take medicines for hepatitis c virus, the soreness and white patch will come down automatically...maintain proper tongue brushing and oral hygiene...do saline gargling after consuming food. if it doesnt subside consult a oral physician....i hope my answer will help you..
take care..
