Yes it is because of iron syrup. That may cause blacking of teeth and tongue or blacked coloured stool. It is temporary and goes when you complete course and stop medicine. No need to stop medicine for that reason. If constipation you can give it alternative days.
Next Steps
You can give medicine in back side of tongue and give more water to decrease teeth staining.
