What's the reason for white stuff in the tongue and bad breath?

Patient's question:

What is the white stuff in your tongue? It's dry mouth since morning, and besides bad breath, what medicine can be used to treat it?

Doctor's answer:

The white stuff on the surface of your tongue is called tongue coating, and it's nothing to worry about. It's recommended that you visit the dental department of a hospital to have your teeth cleaned. Pay attention to washing your face diligently in the morning and evening, and also brush your tongue while washing your face. You can also take some heat-clearing medications, such as Huanglian Shangqing Pian.
Patients facing the distress of bad breath should actively undergo thorough examinations and treatments without avoiding medical visits. If the bad breath persists despite treatment, it's important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
