What could could be my tongue has yellow stuff on top?

A bunch of yellow stuff on my tongue?

  • When I look into t he mirror and stick my tongue out i have al lthis yellow junk. Is this normal and what is it? What could of caused it and how can I get rid of it? I've tried brushing it with a toothbrush and washing out my mouth with water and listerine and it doesn't seem to work. What should I do?

  • Answer:

    It might be thrush. Some antifungal medication will do the trick. Your chances are higher of it being thrush if you've been taking antibiotics lately... antibiotics kill the good flora in the body and leave you open for opportunistic infections, like thrush.

Does it look like this? http://www.spectroscopynow.com/ftp_images/Digests30_Oral%20thrush.jpg It may be oral thrush, which is an oral yeast infection. Thrush cannot be brushed or rinsed away. In fact, you should not scrub your tongue; it may worsen the symptoms. For more information, try http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/oral-thrush/DS00408 Yes, there are many antifungal preparations over-the-counter for yeast infections. However, you cannot use them in your mouth. Since a yeast infection may actually be more systemic (all-body) than your mouth, you need to be evaluated, diagnosed, and treated by a physician.
