Hello,
corticosteroids increase the risk for fungal infections. The sore tongue and throat might be the result of yeast infection. Your tongue may be white or bright red if you've got a yeast infection.
Clinical examination is enough for the identification of a yeast infection, so you'd better contact your doctor. I couldn't recommend antifungal treatment without confirmed diagnosis.
Kind Regards!
