It does not go away easily. The best thing you can do is just brush your tongue and teeth like you normally would every day. If it does not go away in a day or two, see a doctor.

According to webmd, black tongue or hairy tongue can be caused by antibiotics. I would call your doctor on Monday for any advise he/she might be able to give. It said it's not a serious condition and is very rare.

Don't you just hate antibiotic side effects? I was taking Levaquin last week and lost my vision for two days. Not fun at all.

Go to a medical treatment center, hospital, doctor without delay. The tongue is the strongest muscle in the human body, with that being said, an infection could be life threatening and needs to be treated before it becomes septic.
