A yellow tongue indicates accumulation of bacteria.Your hormonal irregularity can add to this. These bacteria then release certain chemical to make the tongue yellow in color.
Have adequate water 3 liter per day.Reduce consumption of caffeinated beverages.Maintain oral hygiene and floss daily. Use a mild mouth wash thrice a week.
Cleanse your tongue regularly using a tongue blade.Quit any tobacco and alcoholic habits.
Regards.
