White coated tongue hairlike bumps
Hi my tongue lately I noticed has a white coating and towards the back of my tongue it appears to be hairlike bumps that are also very white. Down the middle of my tongue it also has a white line of the same type of hairlike bumps. What does this mean and how can I get rid of it ?
