thanks for your query,
the white coating could be because of the candidal infection or hypertrophied papillae, or hairy leukoplakia.. consult your oral physician to rule out these things and if it confirms it is candidaisis then you can start with topical antifungal agents like ketoconazole or nystatin...do proper tongue brushing..i hope my answer will help you..take care..
