I have a layer of white substance appearing on my tongue every morning, it's it normal ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
White substance : White secretions on the tongue are normal. Does it scratch off? Does it hurt? Fungal infections will hurt and scratch off with a red base after wiped off. Just drink plenty of fluids and eat a balanced diet with fruits and vegetables. Good luck. Feel better!
