Apply liberal amounts of petroleum jelly and medicated lip balms to prevent dry skin from splitting over and over again.

Get into the habit of applying fresh lubrication every hour and before bedtime.

It hurts like hell but try gargleing with warm salt water after meals. Don't smoke and try using brace wax on you teeth to prevent friction from making it worse.
