A member asked:

My tongue is white an dry. im drinking water but still dehydrated. do i need to go get iv fluids?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: A white dry tongue can be a symptom of a number of different things besides dehydration, such as a fungal infection (oral thrush). I recommend you make an appointment to see an ear, nose & throat doctor.
