[|Human|] I have a whitish film covering the entire inside of my mouth as well as my tongue and the back of my throat. I have been coughing a lit the last few days but his is new.I have been using over the counter cough drops almost constantly for the last two days but it is the only thing that keeps the cough in check. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The white coat on the tongue and mouth could be a candida infection, or it can be leukoplakia(if you have the habit of smoking) or lichen plans. Consult an oral physician and get it ruled out. If it is candida infection you can use topical antifungal agents like candid mouth plant. If it is leukoplakia you have to stop the habit of smoking(if you are a smoker)lichen plans doe snot require any treatment unless it is symptomatic. I hope my answer will help you, take care
