What is the reason for the black tongue coating?

We have observed 50 cases of tongue black moss patients, 36 cases with different degrees of fever, including 20 cases of high fever, 16 cases of low fever. Most people show black moss in the course of fever. Some people show black moss after high fever subsides. But when they have a second fever, black moss appears again and again, which proves that there is a certain correlation between fever and black moss. In the above cases, the shortest fever appeared 4 days later, and the longest fever appeared 80 days later. In most cases, after 2 weeks of fever, black moss appeared, even for 20 days. It can be seen that the longer the fever, the more black moss appeared.

According to clinical investigation, more than half of the patients with black moss have gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal distension, constipation, nausea and poor appetite. After treatment with the medicine, if the stool is smooth and the internal heat subsides, the black moss also subsides; After the black moss subsided, the appetite also improved. These symptoms of gastrointestinal dysfunction are mostly seen in patients with high fever, so they are one of the symptoms of intestinal dysfunction or body poisoning. Due to the stimulation of bacterial toxins, gastrointestinal dysfunction is caused, the pH value of oral saliva is reduced, the adhesion between tongue cells is enhanced, the cuticle process of filamentous nipple is extended, and it is easy to be dyed black by microorganisms, forming black moss.

In people's mouth (including tongue coating), there are various kinds of bacteria, molds and other microorganisms. They restrict and promote each other, maintain an inevitable balance, and have no harm to people's health. If a large number of broad-spectrum antibiotics are used because of the need to treat diseases, the balance of these microorganisms will be broken. Some bacteria that are more sensitive to antibiotics are killed, while molds that are not afraid of these antibiotics take advantage of the opportunity to proliferate. Because mould can produce a variety of colors, it can appear on the tongue from brown to black.
