It can be a fungal infection, eg thrush. If it feels uncomfortable, see your doctor who can prescribe treatment. Thrush can be a sign of depleted levels of iron or vitamin deficiency and can also occur if using antibiotics.
A yellow tongue can be caused by smoking or certain foodstuffs, eg some teas.
It can also be associated with post nasal drip occassioned by aspirated extra-oesophageal reflux - which would be more prevalent first thing in the morning.
Try brushing or scraping your tongue and use a good mouthwash.
