It could be due to the antibiotic side effects which you had taken previously.
Other common causes could be hence I advise your daughter to take Multivitamin tablets for chapped lips.

Thank you for your help. I have had her on B12 and Iron because I read that a vitamin deficiency could be the cause. Could this be a yeast infection? If so, anything over the counter we can try?
Brief Answer:
Not yeast infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for follow up question. Kindly continue multivitamin tablets for some more time. Candidial (yeast) infection does not cause this type of symptoms, unless the person is a diabetic (which is not there).
She can apply some lip creams which contains glycerine or natural oils as a treatment remedy. Also stress can contribute to this, hence advise your daughter to not to take stress.
If the symptoms persist kindly visit a dermatologist for clinical examination.
Please ask if you have more questions. If you are satisfied, please make sure that your ACCEPT my answer so that I receive credit. Good luck
