Doctor's answer:

The child's lips are dry, which is generally related to a slight deficiency in the spleen. It can be appropriately regulated, and a temporary lip balm can be used to relieve the condition, but avoid licking the lips frequently. It is recommended to give the child some Ginseng Spleen Strengthening Pills and use a baby lip balm temporarily. Usually, this will improve. Encourage the child to drink more water and eat more green vegetables, such as carrots and green leafy greens. Consume fruits with high water content. Avoid licking the lips and eating and acidic foods. It is advisable to eat more foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E.
