What does it mean when your tongue is white? and is it bad?

I think I'm really dehydrated I feel hungover but I didn't drink and alcohol. I'm drinking as much water as I can but is there anything else I can do to feel better?

Answer 1

If your tongue is completely white - go to the hospital immediatly.

If you just have some white on your tongue.. usually when you look at it in a mirror, or when you stretch it out (sounds weird I know).. this is just a sign of slow digestion. Nothing to worry about, just drink more water.
