Help! Son Has Black Spot on His Tongue!
Hello ladies. I am hoping one of you can help me. My son has a black spot on the right side of his tongue. I can not wipe it off. He has also been making this really high pitched squeak, almost like he is having a hard time breathing. He doesn't act sick or anything, but I am really concerned. Any ideas? Should I take him to his pedi today? Thanks.
So What Happened?™
So I took him yesterday, and it was just a bruise from teething. Thanks for the advice!

Seems like he is having a hard time breathing and a weird squeak noise?
Take him do the Doctor ASAP... or the ER.
The black spot can be anything...
take care!

Hi A., I would call your pediatrician right away, I looked up this on internet and there has been many people with a black spot on their tongue, for most of them it turned out to be nothing, it can be anything from nothing, to melanoma, to a contatious virus, and sinse I'mj sure he doesn't smoke I would guess a virus, or one lady said heres look like a black marker spot, so has your son got his hands on a black marker? Try not to worry most things with kids turn out to be nothing, let us moms know what you find out if you don't mind. J. L.
