I have an infection 2 weeks after lip filler infection, how can I get rid of this blister without removing the filler? (Photo)

Question

Clearly I have an infection. Went to see my GP and they put me on bactrim antibiotics. I'm scared as now I have blister looking lumps on my lower lip as well. I do not want to have it removed, I'm praying the antibodics work. Is there anything I can do to avoid lip surgery? I've been on the antibodics for 2 days. The top lip lump is sbout dime size, the bottom lip has 3 different infected sites. The picture doesn't look like they are bad but it's bad. Moreover, they don't hurt at all.

This needs an in-person evaluation. This may need to be dissolved with hyaluronidase. It may take a series of treatments. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Something not right with your timing or you left out you had more filler as I read your 2 postings. 1st post was over 2 weeks ago with pics that showed uneven areas. Did you return for more fillers? If yes than I wonder if you had a 'break in technique'? causing this reaction/infection. Now I recommend IV antibiotics, steroids by mouth, daily examinations...
