My tounge is coating and have lump inside is it normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coating yes, lump no: The tongue gets coated for a variety of reasons like dehydration, nutrition or infection etc. However any lump or mass in the tongue is abnormal. You should see an Oral Surgeon or a Dentist soon.
