I've got what feels like a thick coating over my tongue and teeth <yuk>

[notnowbernard]

It feels like when you wake up in the morning after a curry and a few pints (but not odourous)

It's unpleasant

Thought it might be oral thrush (had a sickness bug 5 days ago) but have Googled and it doesn't fit

What can I do?

what colour is the coating?? is there spots?? when you scrape it does it come off?? is there a taste to it??
sounds like thrush to me but i would need to know the answers to the questions...sorry for the spanish inquisition

Tongue coating can be sign of all sorts of things. Quick google search brought up this. Not suggesting you have IBS just giving an example. I would have thought could well be to do with stomach bug you have just had. Get well soon!

are you dehydrated? Lots of fluids. Sickness might have started dehydration.

I get something like this when dehydrated and lacking in sleep (also after strong black/green tea and green bananas).

Thanks for replies

ei you can't actually see the coating... there is nothing to scrape off. Just feels like there is a coating IYKWIM. Leaves me feeling like I'm thirsty and need to drink

Don't think I'm dehydrated

However, it is a bit better today. I bought some antiseptic mouthwash which has left my tongue feeling like it's been rinsed with paintstripper... if it's the same tomorrow I'll try and get a dentist appt
