Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
White yellow discharge on the tongue is usually indicative of oral candidiasis.
This would normally be treated by a course of antifungals over a period of 7 to 14 days.
These are available in different formants- gels, lozenges, tablets, creams, rinses.
Some examples are nystatin, miconazole, fluconazole, econazole
I hope this helps
