What is the reason for the dry lips and nose of a child who is 3 weeks and 4 months old?

Patient's question:

A child who is 3 weeks and 4 months old has dry lips and a dry nose (picking nose). What could be the issue? Generally in the afternoon, they often want to lick their fingers (especially when they are idle).

Doctor's answer:

From the description of your baby's issue, she may just have a problem with poor nasal ventilation due to rhinitis. Poor nasal ventilation can lead to dry lips and easily scratching the nose due to dryness. Licking fingers is not a good habit and must be stopped. It is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods and drink more water! Take Rhinitis Ning granules orally, use Vitamin AD drops for nasal administration, and you can also use a nasal rinse device to rinse the nose. Wish your baby a speedy recovery!
