A member asked:
My tongue is really white why? i have been really sick lately such as coughing, fever, runny nose. if that has anything to do with it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coated tongue: White coated tongue goes along with many infections, including common colds -- which is undoubtedly the cause of your other symptoms. Or maybe influenza. The appearance of your tongue is not harmful and it should return to normal as your cold or flu improve.
