What does mean when tongue is black after throwing up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Black tongue: After vomiting, the normal bacteria in our mouth can be altered. Suggest you rinse after throwing up as soon as possible to eliminate the highly acidic fluid that can stay around your teeth and gums. Google 'black hairy tongue' and see if that is what you have?
