What should I do if gastroenteritis causes the tongue to turn black?

Patient's question:

I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach aches sometimes with symptoms of burning and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it started again. Please ask how should I deal with the black tongue caused by gastroenteritis?

Doctor's answer:

Gastroenteritis often leads to the symptom of white tongue, which is generally considered to be closely related to blood and Qi stagnation in the body. Oral herbs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis can be used for treatment. If there is an increase in bowel movements, antibiotics should also be taken concurrently. It is important to pay close attention to monitor for signs of dehydration. If there is an increase in urine output, intravenous fluids should be administered to replenish fluids.
