What Causes Brown Spot On Tongue In Child?

My 13 m old daughter is in the hospital now with a brown spot on each side of her tongue. It looks almost burnt and seems to bother her. She is in for resp distress and a generic viral lung infection. She is on Xopenex, SoluMedrol and Rocephin. No one has seen them before. Any ideas?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Your baby is on steroids which can lead to fungal infections. Lesions over toungue are probably due to fungal infections.
Treatment with candid oral paint and multivitamin syrup will resolve infection.

For further queries regarding this disease or its medications you may consult me at Healthcare Magic under section "Ask Expert " >>>"Ask Pediatrician".
