bumps on upper inner lip

I am just getting over strep and and I am finishing a prescription of Ceftin. I just noticed 2 whitish looking bumps on the inside part of my upper lip. Could this be related or something different. The look almost pea sized. No pain, but I can feel that there is something there. Any thoughts?

This could very well be the start of a type of yeast infection. Some folks develop this after they have been on antibiotics as they kill the "good" bacteria in your system. You might want to try taking some powder "Acidophilus" this will put the "friendly bacteria" back into your gut.

I would also let the physician know what is going on, or at least his nurse. A visit to the dentist might be in order as well, some dentist also are trained in oral maladies such as cold sores..

they can be fever blister. witch usaully happens as while your sick or after the sickness. then again they can just be blisters fighting off the sickness you just got over cuz that happens to. it should be okay. but if they pop drain it with paper towle and try and not let to much of the stuff coming out of it get in your mouth it will just make you sick again.
