I've been on them for 5 days but yesturday on the roof of my mouth white puss sockets appeared and this morning a puss socket on the gum of my front. The puss sockets are all red, swollen, painful, and hot to the touch. What should I do?

You may have developed ulceration of the oral cavity probably apthous ulcers. Usually they can occur secondary to antibiotic use. They will resolve within few days. You may need to take symptomatic over the counter analgesics and antiseptic gels for few days
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
