Hello Navreet kaur
thanks for your question

your doctor have prescribed you correct medicines continue with it
apart from ointments i would advise you to take multivitamin supplements because nutritional deficiency might be contributing to your damaged lips

Watch your diet please
avoid fatty fried and spicy food or carbonated drinks
have plenty of fluids and fresh fruits like papaya grapes and citrus fruits

hope this helps you
Best wishes
