Question
What are the solutions for dry and chapped lips in children?
Answer
It is recommended to eat more fresh vegetables such as soybean sprouts, rapeseed, bok choy, and carrots, and try to wear a mask to maintain the temperature and humidity of the lips. You can also consume foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E to improve the chapped condition. Oral riboflavin can be taken, and locally, 1% gentian violet can be applied. If there is an uncomfortable sensation after application, you can use gentamicin eye ointment or neomycin ointment. You can also apply a small amount of peanut oil or vegetable oil.
