My cat has a tear film, thick eye discharge, and crusted, heat-like sores on the lip – 3 days, no improvement with ofloxacin, chloramphenicol or detox drops – what is it?

My cat keeps drooling, won’t eat, and has a white blister on the tongue with redness around it — what’s wrong?
Based on your description and the image, the drooling, refusal to eat, and tongue blister are likely caused by stomatitis, and the pale gums may indicate anemia. Take the cat to a veterinary hospital promptly for examination and treatment, checking for other issues and treating the cause. For ordinary stomatitis, use a pet antibacterial oral spray and anti-inflammatory medication. The cat also looks weak, so provide some extra nutrition and energy.
Whole lips swollen/bad, gums red; is it ulcer + gum inflammation, stomatitis, or granuloma? Can’t tell, photo hard.

Why Is My Cat Sticking Out Its Tongue?
A cat sticking out its tongue is often normal — cooling off (cats sweat poorly), grooming mid-play, or dazing. But it can also signal oral disease (with drooling, breathing trouble), oxygen lack after hard exercise, or poisoning. See a vet if it comes with other odd symptoms.
What Medicine for a Cat That Drools a Lot?
Don't medicate a drooling cat blindly — find the cause first. Oral foreign bodies (bone, fish bone) need removal then antiseptic spray; stomatitis needs mouth spray, anti-inflammatories, dental cleaning or extraction; pharyngitis needs vet amoxicillin and soft food, or IV fluids if it won't drink. Rinse the mouth if a strong-tasting substance caused it.
