Hello
This looks very normal. It might be due to maintaining more oral hygiene or some medication if you are using any.

Hello! Your symptoms — white or brown coating on the tongue, burning, and dryness — could be due to oral thrush (a fungal infection), tongue fissures trapping food, or even acid reflux or dehydration. I recommend visiting a dentist for proper diagnosis, as you might need antifungal treatment. Start cleaning your tongue gently and make sure you stay well hydrated. Also, avoid tobacco and spicy foods for now, as they may worsen the condition.
