Any docs in the house?

Don't want to waste the doctor's time just yet, buuuut...
Just over a week ago I finished a week-long course of antibiotics for a gum/wisdom tooth problem - nothing major. Since coming off them, I notice my tongue has got that horrid white'ish furry covering to it, which although not too harrowing, doesn't look that great and leaves a bit of a metallic taste in the mouth.
Is this something that crops up as a result of antibiotics?
(And yes, I've already checked Google, but it says I have bad AIDS)

I'll say it before someone else does.
Sounds like a sudden onset of 'Bad Aids'. Whatever your symptoms are, they are exactly the same as 'Bad Aids'. I'm afraid it's terminal. Also be aware that approximately a week before death you will continue to void your bowels non-stop.

Give your mouth and tongue a good brush all over, run your t/brush under hot water to make it softer, try corsodyl for a few days - at least 30 mins seperate to toothpaste.
See your GP again if you're worried!
