You might be sick, but try scraping the gunk off of your tongue.
Look in the drug store next to the toothbrushes and you'll see a couple of different kinds of tongue scrapers. You can also use a spoon and a larger spoon, like a soup spoon works best. Just place the scraper as far back on your tongue as you can go, press down with light pressure and drag it to the tip of your tongue. You will probably need to do 3 swipes; left, center and right. Rinse with water for 10-15 seconds (such as after your tooth brushing when you are rinsing anyway), scrape your tongue, and then rinse again. The first couple of times you do this, you will be shocked at the gunk that comes out from between the fuzziness on your tongue and it might be a little sore, but (if you are using the right amount of pressure) the quantity will decrease and your tongue will not be sore anymore.
