Your tongue doesn’t look abnormal. You need to use tongue cleaner on a regular basis while brushing. Ensure you don’t scrap the tongue too much.
If you feel the tongue is dry, it can be caused of various reasons ranging from a high fever or any other medications you use or habits like smoking or just dehydration.
Next Steps
Ensure you drink lots of water and clean your tongue regularly. If the dryness still persists or any burning sensation you feel, then immediately visit your dentist.
