Suggest Treatment For Brown Discoloration Of Tongue

I would like to know the cause, and treatment for the brown discoloration of my tongue. It came after a treatment of antibiotics for sinus infection. The OPD doctor suggested mouth wash and gargle with half and half hydrogen, and also listerine mouth wash. This does not seem to help.
