Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query you have symptoms of white color of tongue along with burning sensation which varies along with temperature is because of oral condition known as Oral Lichen Planus. It occurs because of decreased immunity of body and increased colonization by bacteria.
I would suggest you not to worry about it as mild cases don't cause much discomfort. The burning sensation and white coating can be improved by :
1) Maintaining proper oral hygiene by brushing and flossing two times a day.
2) Use antimicrobial mouthwash to prevent accumulation of bacteria and plaque in oral cavity.
3) Use tongue scrapper to rub tongue mildly to remove debris attached to coating.
4)Use steroid sprays or steroid tablets dissolved in water to make a mouth rinse.
Your symptoms will start resolving. If your symptoms keep son persisting visit dentist once and get it examined properly.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
