Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Because the weather is dry in autumn, my child's lips became dry, so they licked their upper and lower lips with their tongue. The more they licked, the drier the lips became, and the drier the lips became, the more they licked. As a result, the skin around the lips turned red and developed white blisters. Since my child is at school, I can't control them there. I would like to ask everyone if you can give me some good advice.Duration of the current illness: About 20 days

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 use of lip balm can provide relief. Avoid constantly licking the lips. It is recommended to give the child some Ginseng Spleen Strengthening Pills and use a baby lip balm temporarily. This usually improves. Encourage the child to drink more water and eat more green vegetables, such as carrots and green leafy greens. Consume fruits rich in moisture. Avoid licking the lips and eating and acidic foods. It is advisable to eat more foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E.
