Can Bumps On My Tongue And Blisters In My Mouth And Throat Be Related To Weight Loss Medicines?

i have recently started taking phentermine and topamax for weight loss. My mouth has been very dry and i have been drinking a large amount of water. Today I have noted bumps on my tongue and blisters in my mouth and throat. It is very painful. Could this be related to these medications?
