Yellow Tongue

Hello,
I just recently noticed that my sister's tounge has turned yellow for no apparent reason.
She says she feels fine. Just that when she brushes her tongue it hurts.
And when she brushed her tongue most of the yellowing went away.

What could be the problem?

Does she have other symptoms like pain or itching?  The first thing that comes to mind is thrush or a yeast infection, but that is usually white like cottage cheese.
