I'm really worried because I've had this white coating on my tongue for about a week now. Do you have any advice on how I can treat it?

You may be experiencing oral thrush, which is a fungal infection in the mouth. You can use an antifungal medication like clotrimazole troches. You can dissolve one troche slowly in your mouth five times a day for 14 days. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth and tongue regularly can also help in treating the white coating on your tongue.

View allI've been noticing these small lumps on my body for about 10 years now. Is there a specific type of doctor I should consult for this? I'm really curious about what kind of treatment options might be available. Any advice would be really appreciated.
The small lumps on your body could be lipomas, which are usually harmless fatty tumors under the skin. You can consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment. In some cases, if the lipomas are causing symptoms or cosmetic concerns, they can be removed surgically. However, if the lumps are due to other causes, the treatment may vary. It is best to consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've got this minor swelling in my mouth, and while it's not causing me any pain, it's become quite noticeable. I haven't taken any medicine for it since it's not really bothering me in terms of chewing or giving me a toothache. My mouth doesn't feel dry either, but I'm still concerned. Should I be worried about this swelling, or is it something that might go away on its own?
You may be experiencing a minor dental issue. The noticeable swelling without pain could be due to a variety of reasons such as an infection or inflammation. I would recommend using an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen to help reduce the swelling. Additionally, you can rinse your mouth with warm salt water to help with any discomfort. If the swelling persists or worsens, it is best to consult with a dentist for further evaluation and treatment.
