Hi carole thanks for the suggestion, don't think its oral thrush.

I have this! I think it's from having a dry mouth as with my anxiety I'm swallowing a lot and breath through my mouth a lot

Are you mad? You should never advise someone from this forum to google their symptoms. Someone suffering from an health anxiety will opt for the worst scenario even if the odds are against it.

Are you a good Christian Keckie? My mate had a white tongue for months,turned out he had Syphilis 👏. He claimed he only went to Thailand because he loved the culture😂.

Acid reflux along with dehydration. Get in. Healthy diet that you oike nd start drinking lots of water and youll see in 30 days your tongue will look great again.

Hi Keckie, 

There are multiple reasons why your tongue would do this and to be fair it is quite common so don't go getting yourself worked up about! Easier said than done I know. 

Are you taking any Inhalers at the minute by any chance? Very common cause of tongue coating / furring. Obviously deficiencies can cause it like you said but so can other harmless things such as Acid disorders and things. 

Nip down to see your GP just to get it checked as who knows you might just need a course of antibiotics but don't worry about it too much.
