Mouth / Throat problems

Hopefully this is the right forum.


Well, for the past week or so i've noticed my tongue to be slightly swollen, or that there's a swollen feeling in my mouth. My tongue also has a slight white coating on the top and there are red spots towards the back of my tongue.

My mouth has also been rather dry, requiring me to drink water every so often, and i've lost a good bit of my appetite. I'm not quite sure what all of these symptoms could mean, i have an appointment in a few days and i'd like to go in with a bit of knowledge, thanks .

Steve.
