Has anyone’s LO ever had a black tongue before? Not entirely black but towards the back of the tongue… 6 MO old. i’ve gone to doctors twice already about it and they can’t seem to figure out what it is… it doesn’t seem to bother her, no other symptoms, has not eaten anything blue or taken antibiotics.

I had this when I was about 10 yrs old. Which was a long time ago!!! I remember being put on antibiotics and that it had something to do with our water. Or maybe I am remembering wrong, and just associated the water, bc the area we lived in had very smelly water.
It’s usually an overgrowth of bacteria on the tongue…you may want to get a stool test done (you can order one yourself) and find what bacteria is overwhelming the body.
Take her to the dentist. Some people have hairy tongue! And it looks black.
Tummy issues can also cause black tongue.
