Hello, Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic! I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns. All the symptoms you have mentioned suggestive of pharyngitis(inflammation of your throat). It could be bacterial in origin and can be easily cured by timely antibiotic therapy. The white tint might be caused by over growth of papillae on the surface of your tongue.Bacteria, dead cells and debris gets lodged between the inflamed papillae and impart white color to your tongue. It might be the reason for strange taste also. You don t need to worry as it can be cured completely. I suggest you to consult a general physician and get the following things done:- (1)-Start a short course of antibiotics like levofloxacin for five to seven days. (2)-You can use acetamnophen or ibuprofen for fever and pain. (3)-Antihistamines like levocetrezine would provide symptomatic relief. (4)-Do warm saline gargles or gargling with an antibiotic mouthwash. (5)-Avoid cold and spice food. If symptoms persist despite all these a throat swab may be needed find out the exact pathogen causing the illness. Hope I have answered your query. Wishing you good health. Regards. Dr.Shinas Hussain
