It will eventually wear off.
You can try brushing her tongue with a toothbrush, it might help a little.
At least it's not all over her forehead. :)

You can try vitamin water but doesnt have iron though. You can also ask docter about a nutritin shake. Me and my family shop at a discounted all natural store for our vitamins. Wouldn't go no where else. They have the oligo in there vitamins. most vitamins are not soluable with our bodies, they crystalize in the small intestines and don't do a thing for us. They also cause free radicals which isn't good so it ends up being a waste of money. I hope you find something to help!!

Time. I doubt there's anything you can do, and I'm sure it will wear off soon enough...

LOL reminds me of what me and a close friend did to her little brother! Their mom was furious, but in the end had to let it wear off. It won't hurt her :)

The good news is, permanent marker really isn't permanent after all! I learned that when my daughter got a hold of a marker that rolled off the table as I was packing a huge package for the holidays and had finished writing on the label and she became color-happy and got the black marker all over the marble floor. Making sure the area is hydrated will eventually wear it off in time. Bleach worked pretty quickly, but since you can't bleach your daughter's mouth, the only other whitening/cleaning agent that won't harm her mouth is hydrogen peroxide, so you may want to try having her rinse with hydrogen peroxide, just make sure she doesn't swallow it (you don't mention her age, so I am not sure if she can be trusted to rinse without swallowing). Considering the tongue is constantly hydrated though, fading quickly should not be a problem. If people ask about it, say she ate a candy that stained her tongue, as many of these types of candies do exist. Good luck.

Unless she is going to have her tounge photographed soon, just let it wear off. It won't hurt her.

You may try having her eat something acidic. Perhaps oranges, even the peel from a lemon (I know that would be hard to take) but it may work. Either that or it will just have to wear off. I don't know how old your daughter is, you didn't mention it. You could also try some cooking oil, dip the toothbrush in and scrub it a little. It may work and may not, but its not going to hurt her.
Good luck!!
