What causes a child's cracked lips?

Children's physical problems are the most headache-inducing things for parents, especially the mouth area. Many factors can cause children's lips to crack, which makes mothers feel very distressed when seeing it. However, they don't know the specific causes of the disease, so they are often nervous. So, what causes children to have chapped lips? Let’s take a look at the possible reasons below, hoping to help parents.

First, seasonal chapped lips. Autumn and spring, when the weather is dry and the wind is strong, are the seasons when the human body is most lacking in water, so it is easy for the lips to become dry. Some people habitually lick their lips to moisten them, but when the wind blows, they will become even drier. Over time, they will cause the lips to crack and bleed, so try to restrain yourself and apply more lipstick.

Secondly, for babies who do not have the ability to express themselves, if their lips become chapped without being blown by the wind, it is mostly caused by getting too hot. Some children also experience this phenomenon when they have a cold or fever. You can let your baby drink more water, consume more foods containing vitamin C, eat more fruits and vegetables, and less greasy food.

For children's chapped lips, you can use erythromycin ointment or apply lip balm on the lips to reduce chapped lips. You can also take some heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines, such as Yinhuang Granules, Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, Qingrejiedu Oral Liquid, etc. Parents should also pay attention to let their children have a good schedule and avoid eating spicy foods.

In addition to the above possibilities, chapped lips may also be caused by cheilitis, which is a mucosal disease characterized by peeling and cracking. It can be acute or chronic. As long as you have fungal, allergic or other cheilitis, you can eat more white radish to increase the body's vitamin B content. However, if you want to cure it, you still need to go to the hospital for formal treatment.

The above is an introduction to what causes children to have chapped lips. I hope it will be helpful to parents. Material life is better now, but parents must not spoil their children. They should cultivate healthy eating habits for their children, help them eat more vegetables, drink less beverages, and drink more boiled water. This can prevent chapped lips.
