Brief Answer:
ENT specialist
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr. XXXXXXX thanks for trusting health care magic.
This white discoloration of the tougue will eventually heal by itself and if there is no much swelling in the mouth and tongue then just visit an ENT specialist and get it examined to be on safe side.
Ask her to avoid spicy foods till then.
Take care.
