I'm trying to find the safest mouthwash to use in India because I've heard that some mouthwashes with alcohol might be linked to oral cancer. Is this something I should be worried about? I'm currently using Listerine, but I'm wondering if there are any better options out there. Could you suggest something?

The best alcohol-free mouthwash available in India is Colgate Plax. It is effective in killing germs and providing long-lasting fresh breath. Since you are concerned about the potential link between alcohol-containing mouthwashes and oral cancer, it is advisable to switch to an alcohol-free option like Colgate Plax. Use it twice a day after brushing your teeth, with 20ml undiluted for 30 seconds.

View allI'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.

I'm a bit concerned because lately, people sleeping near me have been telling me that I grind my teeth while I'm asleep. It's strange because Im not aware of it at all and it doesnt happen when Im awake. What could be causing this?
Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you might be pregnant. The vibrations in your stomach could be early fetal movement, although it's unlikely to feel movement this early. To confirm, take a home pregnancy test or consult your gynecologist for a blood test and further guidance. In the meantime, ensure you're getting plenty of rest and staying hydrated.
