My DAughter receitly took several medications and injections for preparation for a trip to Africa, Shortly afterward _ (the day after) he tongue turned black and had a disconnored sputim. Could this have been caused by the vacines or is it just coincidnace?
Any information you could provide would be appreciated.
Thank You

It is possible that black discoloration of the tongue could be related to a medication side effect - in the absence of any other symptoms it may be an innocuous self-limited side effect. I would contact the physician who has prescribed the medications and vaccines for your daughter regarding this.
