White colored patches or coatings of the tongue may be the result of other diseases such as oral candidiasis (yeast infection), leukoplakia, or the side effect of antibiotices, so called "keratosis", etc. You may consult your primary health care doctor or a dentist for further information, possible diagnosis, and treatment alternatives.
