[|Human|] Hi, I am 20 years old and I am having my gallbladder removed on Friday. I have been taking Zicam to keep me from getting sick in the time being. I have noticed that my tongue has gotten a thick white coating on it. Does that have anything to do with my gallbladder or would it be the Zicam?
