How to deal with the problem of dry cracked lips in children

Patient's question:

My child is 8 and a half years old. Every winter, especially this winter, he has never had this problem before. His lower lip is always cracked. He has tried many methods, but none have completely cured it. I wonder if you can provide a good treatment method.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, treatment for dry and cracked lips
1. Use lip balm
2. Apply lipstick
3. Take vitamin B complex
4. Hydrate
5. Do not lick your lips
6. Avoid allergies to toothpaste, flavorings, candies, gum, mouthwash, etc. Baking soda is a better option for brushing teeth.
7. If you don’t have lip balm on hand, you can use your fingers to rub the oil from the sides of your nose, which is considered the best natural remedy.
