Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Welcome Back..

As per your complain the fuzzy feeling is most probably due to dry mouth as such symptoms can be commonly seen in dry mouth..
Secondly it can also be a side effect of medication, if you take any..

I would suggest you to gargle with 1:1 solution of hydrogen peroxide and water..
You should tart chewing sugarfree chewing gums and suck tart candies as it will help in stimulating saliva flow..
Drink plenty of water..

In case if still there is no improvement consult an Oral Physician and get a clinical examination done..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
