What's the matter with black tongue coating?

The baby's tongue coating blackening may be gastrointestinal dysfunction. If the baby's tongue coating blackening is accompanied by abdominal distension, constipation, nausea, poor appetite and other gastrointestinal symptoms, it is the tongue coating blackening caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction. Generally, when the stool is smooth and the internal heat subsides, the black coating will subside, and the appetite will also improve after the black coating subsides. Moreover, gastrointestinal dysfunction is also one of the symptoms of poisoning. The stimulation of bacterial toxins causes gastrointestinal dysfunction, reduces the pH value of oral saliva, increases the adhesion between tongue cells, prolongs the cuticle process of filiform papilla, and is easy to be dyed black by microorganisms, forming black moss.

Blackening of baby's tongue coating may be an inflammatory infection. You should know that various inflammatory infections can also lead to blackening of baby's tongue coating, including pneumonia, pyelonephritis, gangrenous appendicitis, peritonitis, cholecystitis, phlebitis of lower limbs, suppurative osteomyelitis, pelvic inflammatory disease and septicemia. Due to infection, high fever, toxin stimulation and other factors, the tongue filiform papilla can proliferate too long. In addition, microbial staining can make it black, resulting in the appearance of brown and black keratinocytes peculiar to the black fur, which makes the tongue fur dry and brown.

The blackening of baby's tongue coating may be caused by mold infection in people's mouth (including tongue coating). There are various kinds of bacteria, molds and other microorganisms growing. They usually restrict and promote each other, maintain a certain balance, and have no harm to people's health. If a large number of broad-spectrum antibiotics are used to treat diseases, the balance of these microorganisms will be broken. Some bacteria which are sensitive to antibiotics are killed, while molds which are not afraid of these antibiotics multiply. Because mould can produce all kinds of colors, it can appear on the tongue from brown to black.
