What Causes Greenish Tongue?
My tongue has been pasty and a white-greenish color for two days and my eyes are also very swollen. There is a weird taste in my mouth and I brushed my tongue until it bled to remove only most of the gook that is layered on it. Are these combine symptoms of something I should be concerned with?

HI,thanks for using healthcare magic
The discharge on your tongue is likely to be due to oral candidiasis. This is a yeast infection.
It would be associated with an abnormal taste in the mouth.
It would require treatment with anti fungal medications.
You should consider visiting your doctor for assessment and treatment.
I hope this helps
