Infection at end of lips
The problem that my mother is having is some sort of infection at one terminal end of lips, that is painful and due to that she's having a lot of trouble even opening her mouth. There is pus accumulation too. Mupirocin was applied, no visible effect. This happened after a fever. It has been 3 days since it appeared.
