Yes! Brushing helps but tounge is still gross. I feel it needs to be scraped...

It's possible you have thrush if you recently had your surgery. I got a week or so after surgery from the antibiotics they use in your stomach during surgery.

Hmm..isn't thrush typically white spots?

Mine felt weird, white and furry. No spots.

White coated tongue can also be a sign of dehydration. Again, especially if you are early out from surgery. I had it and that's what it was.

My doctor recommended I freeze pineapple juice in ice cubes to get rid of the white tongue, try it - it works.

I experienced that and my nurse said it was because I wasn't getting enough Water. Once I focused on more water it went away. Sleeved on 5/10.

You most likely have oral thrush. I had this about a week after my surgery. My surgeon said it's very common. Between medications and being dehydrated it changes the natural flora in your body causing the thrush. You can buy over the counter medication from your pharmacist which clears it up in around 5 days x
