You have not mentioned anything about the lab investigations that were done for you. Were any samples/swabs collected from you? Was the causative organism determined? What are the results of the antimicrobial sensitivity tests?

If none of these were done and you were prescribed antibiotics just on the basis of a physical examination, then you should definitely see another doctor.

Just taking one antibiotic after another without ensuring if the antibiotic is capable of attacking the causative bacteria will not help you. The lesions on your gums and lips are probably a fallout of prolonged antibiotic treatment.
