Hi I m 21 years old and female. I woke up feeling very nauseous and weak. I have not thrown up yet but the feeling comes and goes. I did not notice the white coating on my tongue til the afternoon. It is not thick and most goes away when I scrape it. I do have a broken tooth and my dentist said there s an abcess starting to form in my gums above the tooth. I do not drink or smoke. I ve never had a white tongue before. I read it could be dehydration because I drink water rarely.
Hi ....tongue is mirror of our oral cavity.coating on tongue is due to poor oral hygiene .your gums have infection which needs oral prophylaxis .use mouthwash and do regular tongue cleaning. Have check up by dentist if infection is sever then have antibiotic course. Gradually it will be fine.take care
