helloo..read thru ur query and i feel that the yellowish and red colour of the tingue can be due to fungal infection(candidiasis)..it has caused inflammation of the taste buds at back of the tongue and roof of ur mouth...due to this fungal infection there is depapillation of taste buds resulting in burning mouth..but nothing to be worried in this...you have to do brushing twice daily...do chlorhexidine mouth rinse daily...apply nystatin topical gel to the tongue and roof of the mouth...do tongue scraping (tongue contains max load of microbes beyond our imagination).drink lots and lots of water.above all reduce STRESS AND BE COOL!!..follow this for a week or two...after that still no reduction in ur problem meet a dentist and according to the clinical presentation he will plan the treatment....be cool...hope ur benefitted something from this reply..have a healthy day!!!

Dentist,  Dr. Qazi Ammara's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

According to your clinical symptoms i suppose that you are suffering from the condition known as burning mouth syndrome. I would suggest you to consult to a Dentist and get a checkup done.
Take tab vitcofol OD daily, take antioxidants suplements.
At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Avoid consumption of hot and spicy foodstuffs, acidic beverages, junky foodstuffs.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.

Hope you find this as helpful,

Take care!
