My 5 year old has has constant chapped/cracked lips for a month now. we have been very diligent about keeping chapstick on him, not helping. ideas?

DRY LIPS: Make sure he is well hydrated so that his lips will not crack due to dryness. Continue putting vaseline and slight Hydrocortisone on the lips without licking it.

Vaseline: You might want to try switching to a vaseline based lip moisturizer that's softer than chapstick. Even plain vaseline or aquaphor might be helpful. Make sure your son drinks plenty of fluids. Does he lick his lips? This will make it difficult to control chapped lips and, if he does, this might need to be addressed. Good luck!
