I have red dots on my top palate and my tongue is some what white?

See a dentist: Petechiae formation on the soft palate is chiefly linked with pharyngitis by a streptococcal infection, allergic reaction or orogenital sexual activity. Regardless the cause the evaluation by a dentist is warranted.

White tongue: The tongue is known to have many variations with pigmenting, size, appearance, & not always due to disease. Causes of a tongue that looks white include: lichen planus (responds to steroids), white sponge nevus (familial, benign, permanent), smoker's leukoplakia (2% risk of cancer, needs biopsy), hairy leukoplakia (due to epsteinbarr virus), warts (due to papillomavirus), "thrush" (rx antifungals).
