I have read your problem,Looking to your Oral health,you are not maintaining well.This is not your fault ,because of less knowledge of oral hygiene care. So go to the dentist place,He or She will guide you about proper method of brushing (twice a day morning and night)and use antiseptic mouth wash once a day,in addition to this one should clean tongue with tongue cleaner twice a day while we are brushing.Take some good antibiotic, b -complex,antioxidants,riboflavin(For 1 month) and use antiseptic mouth wash.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your querry.
The white coating/patch at the back tongue may be a fungal infection also called candidiasis/oral thrush.
It happens most commonly when the body resistance to fungal infections is low due to consumption of strong antibiotics. I would recommend you to visit an oral patgologist to examin the lesionand if required he may do a swab test and send it for culture to confirm.
Hope this answers your querry.
Regards
