Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. I would like to pay emphasis on the winter being the trigger in your case, let me explain; during winter various nutritional deficiencies can take place due to lack of sunlight, change in diet (low availability of green leafy vegetables, fruits, etc.), low fluid intake, etc.
Although your doctor is the one who has physically examined you and not me, I would still like to put forward a request to check on your nutritional levels (especially vitamin B9 and B12 levels which are both common for causing oral cavity related issues). For this reason I'd recommend the initiation of a B-complex supplementation (vitamin supplements).
If at all, all your nutritional values are normal, then a course of anti-fungal medications will not cause any harm and will either treat the suspected yeast infection, or help rule it out. And if there are discrepancies in your nutritional value test reports, correction may completely solve the issue ma'am. But in the meantime please do increase your fluid intake, and try your best to eat as many green leafy vegetables, fruits and red meat.
I also recommend avoiding the intake of hot and warm fluids (which can cause harm to the affected region), avoid alcohol, avoid smoking, and avoid long gaps between meals. I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.

Would it help to use a specific lip balm?
Brief Answer:
Nothing specific, but you can go ahead and use any one you like
Detailed Answer:
Hello once again ma'am.
Lip balms can help if the source of the issue is dryness or if there is some amount of irritation from dryness, otherwise there is no specific lip balm that should be used, butt there is no harm in using lip balm, so you can choose the one to your liking and use it ma'am.
