Brief Answer:
Gentian violent and acidophilus pills.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I see the photo you attached and the tongue is whitish in the middle and with red circles on the sides.
I think this can be caused by thrush.
You can find thrush medications over the counter. You can use gentian violent topical solution and acidophilus pills.
You can find them on Walmart.
You may also use Nystatin gel with prescription.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

I’m using the probiotic pills. But couldn’t find the liquid you recommended. I still see the spots come back here and there when I don’t use the pills. I really need to get the liquid you recommended to see if it will remove the thrash completely.
