If you are not responding to LPRD treatment then diagnosis of LPRD is in question and other causes for dry mouth and resulting coated tongue needs to be ruled out. Sometimes saliva gland diseases can cause significant dryness and coating of tongue
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
