My cat has clear drool and a red, bumpy, crusted upper lip
A red, bumpy, crusted upper lip may be mouth ulcers, eosinophilic granuloma from allergy, or viral infection like calicivirus. Use an antibacterial spray and oral antibiotics, get a scrape and allergy care, and use a collar to stop scratching.
