Brief Answer:
oral thrush, vitamin deficiency status.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for your query. After viewing your photo, I am in the opinion that your are having white patches more on the tongue. your posterior pharyngeal wall looks very congested suggesting infection. If I were your treating doctor, I would have prescribed penicillin antibiotics + anti inflammatory medicines like paracetamol + diclofenac combination drugs twice daily for 3 to 5 days to reduce the throat congestion with candid mouth paint for local application over the tongue for thrush.
Vitamin supplement will also be helpful.
If symptoms persists, then please consult with your doctor and get evaluated. Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
