What Causes Dark Colored Tongue In Baby?

Hi, my 11month old baby girl has a slightly black dark coloured tongue - which I ve only noticed over the last few days. She is unwell with cold like symptoms and is currently on amoxicillin for an ear infection. She was born at 26weeks weighing only 810g. She was discharged from SCBU after 65 days on sytron, dalivit and folic acid.

Hi... by what you say, I feel that the black coloured tongue could be a mole on the tongue. If this is not bothering her in any way you need not worry about this at all. But if your are still in doubt I'd suggest that you upload an image on this website and get back to us, so that we will be able to help you better.
