Patient's question:
Your child seems to have excessive internal heat, as evidenced by bad breath when exhaling and a split in the middle of the lower lip.Previous Treatment and Effects:
Your child has seen a doctor, taken medication, and even received injections. The village doctor seemed to say it was due to a vitamin deficiency, but after a week, it hasn’t improved.
Desired Help:
You hope the condition will resolve on its own. Please help with your son’s lip split.
Doctor's answer:
In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that the moisture level of the lips is also an external reflection of the body's condition. Dry and cracked lips indicate that body fluids have been depleted, and the lips have lost their nourishment. When the lips are swollen and sore with sores at the edges, it is often a sign of a deficiency in riboflavin or an excess of heat in the spleen and stomach, as well as a symptom of yin deficiency and fire excess.Eat fresh vegetables rich in vitamins, but avoid consuming too much orange, as it is an aromatic and warm fruit. Overconsumption can easily cause digestive issues, making the lips even drier. It is recommended to drink more water regularly, and avoid licking the lips when they are cracked.
