Now more and more parents are beginning to pay more attention to hydrating their babies in winter, because adults need hydration in winter, and children need hydration even more in winter. Because the weather is dry in winter, many children have dry mouths and often lick their lips, which will cause the skin around their lips to be soaked repeatedly by saliva, which is very bad for the skin and lips.

What to do if your baby's mouth is dry and flaky

In winter, babies' mouths are often very dry. So what should parents do at this time? Should they apply lip balm to their babies?

The climate is dry and cold in winter, and many children have dry lips. They will often lick their lips, causing the skin around the lips to be repeatedly soaked in saliva and causing tongue licking dermatitis. Small red macules and papules often appear around the lips, and some children may also have chapped skin and fine scaling.

Almost all children with tongue-licking dermatitis show "internal heat", that is, they have dry stools and dry mouth and throat. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by a lack of body fluids, which is caused by environmental factors - autumn dryness, and the body's own reasons - lack of vitamin C, vitamin B, etc. in the diet, and failure to replenish water in time.

Treatment methods:

Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to replenish water; overcome the action of licking lips and correct the bad habit of tongue licking; for some children with poor self-control and severe skin lesions, use some compulsory measures, such as applying some bitter berberine solution on the skin around the lips. It often heals on its own.

In terms of drug treatment, you can choose an ointment with anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects, such as a mixture of Levnur and Cordipine, and apply it to the lesions several times a day. It will heal in about a week. In addition, you can also take some small Chinese medicines for clearing away heat and detoxifying, such as Children's Qingrejiedu Oral Liquid and Daozhi Pills (Pills).

Kind tips:

Say "no" to your child's habit of licking his lips

Let your children drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables

Don't let your children eat too much meat to avoid "getting angry"

If your child has dry lips, apply some children's lip balm

Don't let your children stay outdoors for too long when it's windy.

If the dermatitis is severe, please take your child to see a dermatologist.

Experts point out that in the dry autumn, to prevent similar behavioral skin diseases, we must first pay attention to hydration and drink more boiled water. In addition, we must pay attention to supplementing multiple vitamins. We can also use some lip balm, body lotion, etc. to keep the skin moisturized.

The above are some ways to deal with dry lips on babies in winter. Parents must remember them.
