Hello ,
Thanks for consulting hcm
Read your query as you have dryness of tongue this can be due to lack of saliva due to decreased saliva secretion from sapivary gland or fungal iinfection that is oral thrush or due to vitamin deficiency .
For this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for oral examination and get proper diagnosis . Inmeantime do warm saline rinses 2 to 3 times a day and you can chew sugar free chewing gums .
Hope this will help you .
