My 2 year old (on tuesday!) son has a round black spot on his tongue. it feels raised. any ideas what it is? should i get him evaluated now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Black tongue: Could be normal in dark skinned individuals however sudden changes could be due to infections; yeast, medications including antibiotics or inadequate oral hygiene & less commonly, due to other health conditions. Try brushing the area with soft bristle tooth brush / toothpaste at least twice daily, if persistent or if other assoc. symptoms, get him evaluated. Take care.
