A member asked:

I have had a green tongue for three days after a cold and chest virus, what should i do about it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Green tongue: Not much. You might try brushing it gently with your toothbrush, but suspect this will clear up spontaneously with time. If it does not, see your dentist or family doctor.
