For the past few months my tongue will randomly turn green and stay that way for a few days before going away...then it will appear again after a week or so. The only thing I can find out about it is that it could be an indication of a serious infection or cancer. This is worrying me...does anyone have anymore information about green tongue?

The only time I have seen reference to this term was in the lest 4 days while we were going over medical conditions as they pertain toxicity and or alcholism. However I can not seem to find any substantial information on this subject. I'm going to keep researching this subject and hope to find out where this term originated and exactly what it pertains to and its causes. You may want to look at your daily activities or perhaps your regular intake of certain substances that might lead to an abundance of any substances that may lead to a build up toxins in your body. Good luck!!!

My mom says that my green tongue is thrash or a yeast infection. But mine goes away when I brush it, but not when I use listerine. I also have a throat ache and headache, and I am tired.

could you please tell me what causes to have a green tongue.

derbygal, your green tongue may be due to a candida infection caused by your antibiotic. It can also be caused by drinking anything high in bismuth (such as Pepto Bismol.) A white/green tongue can be a sign of dehydration. There is also something called a chloroplasmic reaction that some people experience after surgery.
I hope this information is helpful.

I been noticeing in the mornings that my tongue is green. What is this in mouth.Also i had a bitter taste in mouth when i drink a beer never had this before.

i get a green tongue after drinking lots of alcohol on a weekend
it doesnt brush off
and it tastes funny
it stays for a day or two
i also dont drink much water

so i think it is a dehydration thing
as alcohol dehydrates you

The back half of my tongue right now is green, and i asked the doctor about it because i have strep throat. And it seems that bacteria and viruses near the throat can cause the tongue to change to this color. So to the guy who thinks he has cancer from green tongue don't be so worried.
