Why is my tongue blue?
My name is Ashley and I am 13 years old. This morning I woke up with a blue tongue, it looked like I ate a lollipop or something. I searched it up and it says that a blue tongue means that there is a lack of oxygen in my blood and I should see a doctor right away. I'm concerned so are there any others reasons on why my tongue would be blue? I didn't eat anything that was dyed or colored.

This could represent a B Vitamin deficiency although some people with have an episode of blue discoloration of their tongue from certain medications or conditions such as eczema. Occasionally it occurs for no good reason and goes away without any interventions presuming you are having no other symptoms this may be a likely explanation
You are very smart. A doctor needs to look at it. There are many reasons for discoloration and blood tests may help
