Question
What bitter medicine should I apply if my baby bites their lower lip?
Answer
Your situation may be indicative of chronic cheilitis. The exact cause of chronic cheilitis is not yet clear and may be related to cold and dry seasons, smoking, drinking, hot food, licking the lips, biting the lips, and other bad habits. Sometimes it can also be related to psychological factors. Application of a decoction of bitter root for external use can help alleviate symptoms.
