Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Red gums as well as dry lips may be due to-gingivitis caused due to poor oral hygiene,vitamin deficiency,medications administered.
I would advice you to get a thorough scaling done.
Take plenty of fluids as well as fruits.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Vitamin c as well as folic acid supplements has to be administered.
Take care.
