I do not know what your other health problems are but it sounds like you are describing thrush. That is a fungal infection that happens in your mouth and looks like white lumpy patches. Sometimes it can get worse and crack if you sleep with your mouth open and breath through mouth.
Try rinsing your mouth out with warm water mixed with peroxide, half and half, 4x a day. Brush gently and floss regularly. It seems like a lot of work but it will help. Then try to keep up the good hygiene to prevent this embarrassing problem from recurring.

Along with what other people suggest try taking some acidophillus. People who have been on a lot of medication often get a build up of yeast in their system. The acidophillus will help to neutralize it. You can buy it at any pharmacy or health food store.
You might also want to start yourself on a multivitamin.

medications can cause xerostomia which is a fancy word for dry mouth. Your tongue seems to be dry. Drink a lot of water, use a tongue scraper to get the bacteria off of it. They do make mouth rinses for those with dry mouth. I think one brand name is Oasis.

there is no way to say for sure without seeing your tongue, but abnormalities in tongue texture and color can be associated with vitamin deficiencies or even anemia. show your doctor next time you go.

the best thing for you to do is ask your dentist or doctor. try drinking plenty of water any using a mouth moisturizer that you can find in your local pharmacy. or they can order you some!
