I have been taking some pepto for relief. when I woke up I brushed my teeth I notice that my tongue was a black color, and when I used the bathroom my stool was dark like the same color my tongue was. what s going on?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Food poisoning can be treated by a course of antibiotic medications and supportive therapy. Kindly take a course of antibiotics containing Ornidazole with Ofloxacin twice daily for 5 days. Drink good quality of fluids. Avoid intake of oily and spicy foods. Take foods which are soft and easily digestible. Intake of probiotics or lactobacillus spores would also help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
