Hello,
Welcome to health care magic forum.
The peeling of skin after administration of antibiotics is due to antibiotic sensitvity reactions on skin.
Apply dologel as well as petroleum jelly on lips to prevent dryness.
Drink plenty of fluids as well as fruit juices.
Avoid smoking,spicy foods.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Hope this helps.
