white tongue with small sores at the back

I have had a white tongue for a while now it started off just that a white tongue, I thought it may just be cotton mouth
from the medicine that i was on at the time but after being off the medicine for a while it never went away. It started to become sore at the back of my tongue and as I looked closer my tongue was hairy and i could see little blisters at the back of my tongue where it was kinda of sore at. I smoke and drink. I am getting scared because the soreness comes and goes but the tongue always stays white and heary mostly to the back of my tongue.  I am going to the oral
surgeon but im constantly worried and want to know what im in for please help!!!!! Does anyone know what this might be?

You may have Thrush. And if it is it's easy to treat. What med were you taking? Do you brush your tongue?
Your Dr should be able to give you a rinse for this if it is what's going on. Take care. Remar
