What is normal frequency it is 5-6 times per day. Dry lips can be due to decreased humidity in the room air.
Next Steps
Keep a vessel containing water below the air sources like ceiling fan and don’t try to give plain water as it may lead to diarrhoea.
Health Tips
Coconut oil can be applied or moisturiser lotion
