Good oral health: The main cause of bad breath is due to the presence of cavities and or gum disease. Bad breath could also be caused by upper respirator infections and gut illnesses. I would suggest visiting a dentist first. If it is not of dental origin, ask your md. Chapped lips can be cured by any lip balm, petroleum jelly or oil and adequate hydration.

Dehydration: Dehydration caused by not drinking enough water or mouth breathing may cause you to have both bad breath and chapped lips. Drink lots of water and keep lips moist with chap-stick. Maybe a humidifier may help too.
