For a mucous cyst removal, you should consult a dentist or a dermatologist. Dermatologists commonly handle cysts on the skin, while a dentist would be the best choice for a mucous cyst located inside the mouth. If the cyst is causing discomfort or persists for more than a couple of weeks, it's recommended to seek professional help.

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.
