Can chapped lips be a sign of being sick? my brother said he's been drinking water all day.

Maybe: Chapped lips are due to dryness. Change in environmental moisture (deserts, indoor heating) can do it. Too, some lotions, chapsticks, etc. can dry out the lips. A stuffy nose causing mouth breathing, can dry out the mouth & lips. If he has no other symptoms of illness, wait & see. Non irritating lip protection helps. I like Carmex best (Blistex and Chapstick and several glosses make mine worse)
