Tongue has gone brown/black - need help

gotshot26 · Post by **gotshot26** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 3:05 am

Hi,

About a week ago my tongue started going black - I assumed it was from the hydrogen peroxide mouthwash and oral probiotics ive been taking. I stopped taking them but it didn't go away immediately. I got very drunk a couple of days after I first started noticing it and swapped saliva with alot of people (sharing drinks, kissed a girl also I noticed has bad breath but mild). It was worse the next day. I've cut out the mouthwash and probiotics since then and the colour has gone brown. Can anyone advise me of this. I've also been working in a smoking venue as a bartender recently which has been hurting my lungs and kidneys and i think this might be related. Please help.

Does HP cause Brown discoloration?
You need a doctor mate, surely they cant ignore a tongue that turned brown
Something with the gut perhaps

Thanks for the reply. I'll go to the doctor tomorrow.

Didn't reply to you in full. HP can cause discolouration yes.

It's funny I don't have BB at the moment while this is going on. It's like I accidentally did an oral microbiome transplant: killed everything inside me with alcohol then introduced new species. I'm guessing good bacteria is at war with the anaerobes. Unfortunately I know who will win this fight in the end.

Hey bro,the cause of the black tongue are:
-AIDS
-Sjogren's sindrome
-Aspergillus niger.

Hope this help,Regards.

Got checked out by a doctor (a good one): he believes it's Oral Thrush.

I've been given anti-fungal cream for my tongue and digestive system in general. Anyone else here had oral thrush before? I don't know what caused it, K12, hydrogen peroxide, my big night out getting drunk and swapping saliva?

They've done two oral swabs on me. I'll have the results in a few days for one of them, just basic fungal test. And the second one I'll have results in four weeks, they did a test on me i've been wanting to do my whole life - an oral microbiome general bacteria test - will be good to see whats actually on my tongue. I plan on doing it again after the thrush goes and then getting back on track with my bad breath mission.

Thanks for replies Fog and Mercedes.

Bad breath has returned also. Different kind of smell though.

Probably the hydrogen peroxide imo. A couple of years ago a abused chlorhexidine digluconate every day for a couple of weeks, and my tongue turned black. It went away eventually.

Just some over the counter australian brand. It's called Daktarin oral gel.

Tongue hasn't returned to its normal colour yet. It's still brown/light brown. I'm guessing will be with me for a couple of weeks.

Gel? So it's for your mouth, not taken internally?

Docs didn't want to give me a candida test. They said fungal infection will have white spots. They don't see any in my mouth and endoscopies.

You put it in your mouth, hold for as long as you can, then swallow. So yes, Internally.
