Hi julia. First up do you smoke? Is it a coating on your tongue or is the skin orange? Have you drank sunny D or something similar?

[BigDaz]

I'm no expert but I think it's generally caused by bacteria in the mouth, it's not harmful just irritating. You might need some mouth wash or some anti-biotics. If the doctor's not helping you could always see a dentist.

Please try not to worry about this, like BigDaz said, you may need some antibiotics. My mum is going through the same thing right now except her tongue is black!!! Crazy stuff huh?

Let us know how things go,

One of my ex boyfriends had a brown tongue. He had oral thrush and then smoked, which died the thrush brown... was gross! lol

acidophilus will help with yeast infections such as those.

I was getting the taste of acid and a sore throat, but no heartburn pains. So it could still be that.
Pop into your local chemist and ask them to take alook. They might be able to give you advice on which medicine to take.
