White patch not removing side of tongue
I have a white patch on your tongue that doesn't go away or remove. It's at the tip of my tongue and side of my tongue.
Spicy foods and menthol cause stinging or burning sensation.
I also experience dry mouth, throat, and thick phlegm.
Feel a little sore under my tongue when I raise it and move the tongue.
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?
