Brief Answer:
Can be due to less water intake.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Well the symptoms seems to be most probably due to less water intake.
However a clinical examination should be done by an Oral physician to rule out or eliminate other causes.
For now you should increase your water intake for about 2-3 liters.
Also chew sugar free chewing gums.
Suck lemon drops.
Clean your tongue daily using a tongue scraper.
Please revert for more queries.
