Hi,
You have stated the symptoms like burning or lips and mouth, blister, and you are suspecting the yeast infection. These symptoms may be correct but the reason for these may not be antibiotic but it could be something else. For yeast infection, it has to be confirmed. Low vitamin or low folic acid levels may be the cause for the symptoms that you have. An antibiotic can cause an allergic reaction if you are sensitive to antibiotic but may not cause what you have stated here.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
