White cream coating on tongue & bad breath

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee & Others,

I have been reading the postings for a while and I haven't noticed

any messages on this topic.

There is a white cream coating on top-side of my tongue which cannot

be removed by scraping. It gives a bad breath. The problem has been

there for 10+ years now and it is getting worse with time. During a

day, it gets a bit better after eat or drink. The worst time is in

the morning. Basically, I can sense a bad smell after my own sneez.

I have been drinking a lot of water (tea) during day for years.

Two months ago, a doctor recommend me to use Nystatin drops. It

helps greatly. However, if it is interrupted for a day, the white

thing will grow right back. After reading the newsgroup postings, I

have stoped eating sugar, wheat and rice.

So far only the nystatin drop helps. However, I cannot use it for

ever. What should I do to eliminate the problem?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Sam Yang
