White patch that cannot be scraped off

2024-04-15 13:36:15
I have a white patch on your tongue that doesn't go away. Spicy foods and menthol cause stinging or burning sensation. I also experience dry mouth, throat, and thick phlegm. I did research on Google, but it was giving some scary answers. I am very worried. Please help . Is it possible to send a picture of the tongue?
