Infection at end of lips

2017-09-26 16:28:21
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.
