POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. Dry lips in a 2-year-3-month-old child are usually caused by dehydration, frequent licking of lips, weather changes, or nutritional deficiencies. To treat and prevent dryness:
Apply a baby-safe lip balm or petroleum jelly (like Vaseline or Sebamed Lip Balm) several times a day, especially before sleeping. Encourage water intake to keep your child well-hydrated. Avoid letting the child lick their lips, as it makes dryness worse. Include foods rich in vitamin B, iron, and zinc (like fruits, vegetables, whole grains) in their diet.
If dryness continues or cracks worsen, consult a pediatrician to rule out conditions like cheilitis or nutritional deficiencies.
