Hi,

I could not get whether bumps on lips appeared along with fever or it was already there even before. Here I assume the later situation. Fever and rash is probably from a viral fever. The rash may be somewhat itchy, making him uncomfortable. Just give him paracetamol 3-4 times a day and calamine lotion for application over rash if itchy.

If itching is disturbing, I used to prescribe anti0histamine like hydroxyzine to my patients. White bump on lips are usually mucus retention cysts - may disappear its own after sometime. If concerning, can be removed under local anaesthesia (drugs wont help much). If the bumps appeared along with fever, I recommend to see your doctor as we have rule out herpes infection.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
