Suggest Remedies For Stomach Ache And Black Coloration Of The Tongue After Medication
yes please my 6 year old granddaughter has been complaining of stomach ache for the past week I gave her some pebtolmiose last night and rub her tummy and this morning her tongue was black. I m really worried I called her pediatrician can t get thru
Pain in the stomach can be due to stomach infection or indigestion, and in case if you have given her Pepto Bismol that is a bismuth-containing medicine. It is commonly seen that Pepto Bismol can cause dark tongue due to metal content in it. So it is common to cause black tongue. So in case if she has a stomach ache then better consult a General physician if a Paediatrician is not accessible.
For darkness or black discolouration of the tongue, you should clean her tongue using a tongue scraper. Give her hard things to eat like apple, carrot etc. Also gargles with a solution of hydrogen peroxide with water, you can also dip a soft toothbrush in this solution and gently scrape the tongue.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
