If a coating appears on the tongue, then this is a sign that it is time to go to the doctor.
In such a situation, an examination would definitely not be superfluous.
The fact is that pathological plaque on the tongue appears in cases of oncological diseases, problems with the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, and also if a person has problems with the endocrine system.
Plaque can also occur in heavy smokers.
Therapist Olga Chirkova spoke about this in a conversation with NEWS.ru.
The doctor also said that a white coating indicates stomach diseases, and a yellowish tint warns of problems with the biliary system.
In an interview, she also noted that if the plaque is dark, separates, damages the mucous membrane and also spreads to the cheeks or throat, then it is important to immediately contact a doctor.
If a person is healthy, his tongue is pink, smooth, with even edges.
