Suggest Remedy For Red And Sore Lips Of A Child
my grandson is 20 months and his skin around his lips are all red and sore. He just started an antibiotic for an ear infection and I m not sure if it is from that when his mother gave him the medicine and he drooled it onto his skin. What can I put on it to sooth it?

Hello. I just read through your question.
This issue typically occurs when excess moisture, usually from saliva due to drooling or licking, comes in contact with the skin. Applying some barrier protects the skin and allows it to heal. This can be skne with vaseline, or any moisturizer. Keeping it in all the time will pevenr this from happening in the future.
