hi
welcome to HCM
white color tongue could be of many reasons:
1. may be because of dirty tongue in which food is getting accumulated
2. can be in form of patch, if scrapable then it will be a fungal infection (candidiasis most commonly ) and treatment of that is anti fungal drug.
3. if non scrapable patch is there then it could be leukoplakia (most commonly because of smoking habbit)
mouth wash is good only for helitosis so, better to have clear stomach. use good kind of mouth wash like colgate.
for white patch consult dentist.
hope it will help you
thank you
