Is Dry Mouth With White Tongue Concerning?

The last 2 days my mouth has felt really dry. I looked in the mirror and the bottom of my tongue is now white! Earlier this morning I remembered using mouthwash for the first time in a while and it burned more than usual. Could it just be burned from the mouthwash? Or should I go see someone? I m 27, no known health conditions and no medications.
