hi Moon Biswas !it could be due to dryness or dehydration or a side effect of medicine. Keep a lip balm handy for your child. Some natural remedies such as applying ghee to the lips and giving it a gentle massage and leaving it overnight helps too. Honey, Aloe Vera Gel, malai or Milk cream act as a natural remedy for chapped lips. if u feel it's bad ,please do consult yr doc
