Perennial chapped lips, frequent oral ulcers, sometimes numbness of the tongue, better in summer, the most serious in winter.

Chinese medicine believes that chapped lips are mainly caused by lung yin deficiency or stomach yin deficiency, and are mostly caused by exogenous pathogens. Therefore, in the course of treatment, we should not stick to local symptoms or abuse heat-clearing and blood-cooling drugs, otherwise it will weaken healthy qi. Drugs or foods that nourish yin, moisten lung, nourish stomach and promote fluid production can be properly used for aftercare.

At the turn of winter and spring, the weather is dry, cold and windy, and more and more patients come to the stomatology department for repeated chapped lips. The patient's oral cleft lip does not heal for a long time, which not only feels burning pain, but also affects the mouth opening action.

Expert recommendation:

Asparagus and Ophiopogon japonicus each 15g, sugar 10g, covered with 300 ml hot water 10 ~ 15min. Adults drink once, children drink half, once a day. Take it for 3-5 days.

Usually patients should pay attention to a balanced diet to prevent excessive fatigue. You can often eat some nourishing food, such as tremella lotus seed soup. Fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C and B vitamins, such as tomatoes and carrots, also help to improve chapped lips. Dry lips should get rid of the bad habit of licking lips. Drink plenty of water at ordinary times, or take vitamin A or B at the same time.
