Can white tongue have sore throat
I am a father of a 8 year old girl. My daughter has developed white tongue since 15 days. Now since the last 3 days she has a sore throat. Are white tongue and sore throat related? What should be done to get of both? How long will it take for this problem to go?

Causes of while tongue include
Poor oral hygiene
Dry mouth
Dehydration
Alcohol use (excessive)
Mouth breathing
Low roughage diet (eating mostly soft or mashed foods)
Mechanical irritation from sharp tooth edges or dental appliances
oral yeast infection
Oral thrush
Oral lichen planus
Certain infections that cause white tongue may sometimes cause the sore throat bu it can also be due to a different infection. I would advise to visit a dermatologist so that the underlying cause of white tongue can be diagnosed and appropriate treatment started.
