[|Human|] I think i may have gotton a yellow tongue from some antibiotic i took, now I dont know what to do. I have always flossed and brushed my teeth daily, so the antibiotic is the only thing I can think may have caused this. Do you think it could be a virus? Im confused. Cause I was sick with a dry throat and felt really tired a couple weeks ago. The antibiotic was taken two months ago.
[|AI|]  Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Yellow discoloration of the tongue is a harmless condition where in the papillae of the tongue is usually enlarged, and yellow pigments are released. It can also be of geographic tongue, jaundice. Poor oral hygiene, fever , dehy Chat Doctor. I would advise you to just use your tooth brush or tongue cleaner and keep it clean. If you use tea or coffee in excess, reduce this as this will also cause the tongue to be yellow. Reduce smoking and have a healthy diet including more fiber in it. Use a mouth wash for a while. If still persistent, consult your oral surgeon. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
