What causes white moss on the tongue

White moss on the tongue may be the result of indigestion, lung disease, and inflammatory infections.
1. Indigestion: White moss on the tongue may occur as a result of indigestion due to frequent overeating or eating greasy, spicy and irritating foods.
2. Lung disease: If there is bronchitis, acute pneumonia and upper respiratory tract infection, the body will be weaker. And the intake of less food will reduce the secretion of saliva, so it causes white moss on the tongue.
3. Inflammatory infections: If you suffer from chronic pyelonephritis, it may also cause white moss on the tongue, accompanied by generalized weakness, dehydration, loss of appetite and other symptoms. In addition, patients with tuberculous meningitis can also cause white tongue.
When the phenomenon of white moss on the tongue occurs, you should pay attention to a light diet and avoid eating cold and spicy food. If necessary, go to the hospital for consultation and treatment under the guidance of the doctor to clarify the cause.
