How to prevent dry lips in babies?

First of all, we must ensure that the child has a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, eat meat in moderation, and when necessary, take appropriate supplements of B vitamins under the guidance of a doctor. When the weather is cold and windy, you can let your child wear a small mask when going out to reduce the irritation of the cold wind on the lips and reduce the evaporation of moisture from the lips. When there is a strong wind, do not let your children play outdoors for a long time, especially be sure to avoid windy areas.

Correct your child's bad habits of sucking fingers and licking lips. Wash your child’s lips and the skin around their mouth with warm water immediately after each meal or fruit to avoid irritation to the lips and skin from residual soup or juice. In addition, you can put a lip balm or chloramphenicol eye ointment in the pocket of older children's clothes so that they can take it out and apply it on their lips whenever their lips are dry. Chlortetracycline eye ointment is highly moisturizing and can effectively relieve dryness and discomfort of the lips.

Moreover, parents must pay attention to some situations of their children and solve problems that arise in a timely manner so as not to affect their children's growth and development.
