4. Use Honey on the Mouth
Honey is a great natural remedy for this particular illness. There are two reasons the honey is good. For one thing, it is extremely soothing. When you rub honey on the cracked and sore areas of your lips, it will make them feel better.
In addition, honey creates a protective coating that means that even if you do run your tongue over your lips unconsciously, then you may still be able to keep out the bacteria. Many people do not realize just how beneficial honey is. Not only is honey one of the oldest known antibiotics, but it can be used for a variety of medical problems including as a cough suppressant, to treat sleep problems like insomnia and perhaps 100 other things.
