I think i may have gotton a yellow tongue from some antibiotic i took, now I dont know what to do. I have always flossed and brushed my teeth daily, so the antibiotic is the only thing I can think may have caused this. Do you think it could be a virus? Im confused. Cause I was sick with a dry throat and felt really tired a couple weeks ago. The antibiotic was taken two months ago.

If still persistent, consult your oral surgeon. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
