Your symptoms are suggestive of a condition called oral thrush but would need to see the tongue to confirm the diagnosis. I would advise you to meet a dermatologist so that you can be examined and undergo investigations such as CBC, HbA1c, serology markers, etc. You would require antifungal medications and an antifungal mouth paint for treatment.
