White coated tongue

2017-06-05 15:36:45
Hello Dr. I have been observing my tongue for the past one week it has gotten white and coated. So, I googled and tried some home remedies like using Salt to brush and gargling water and etc. But it's not really working. Could you please suggest me any other methods that would be of better help? TIA

You have not given any personal history. White coating in oral cavity (with/without smoking or tobacco) cannot be taken lightly. Check yourself with a dentist.
Health Tips
plenty of water intake & lycopene tablets once daily for 15 days maybe helpful.
