Question
A 22-month-old child often has a red lower lip after eating, as if it’s chapped. The color fades after a few hours. What could be the cause?
Answer
Based on the symptoms you’ve described, this is a common and widespread condition, usually caused by damp-heat within the child’s body. I suggest purchasing a tube of pediatric yellow skin ointment from the pharmacy and applying it to the affected area. Also, try to limit your child’s intake of spicy and greasy foods in their daily diet and encourage them to consume more fruits and vegetables. I hope your child recovers soon!
