Was told my hen has wet Fowl Pox - posted pics & have question

I've already spoken to a few people on here in regards to my poor hen, Sookie, who was just diagnosed with wet pox, after doing some searching in the posts. The one thing I didn't see mentioned are these bumps she has on her lower beak. I wanted to get any advice on if this is indeed wet pox or something else. Sorry the pics aren't that great, were taken with my cell. But you can see bumps on both sides of her beak, they first looked like hard pimples. If you need any more info., please let me know.

Not a lot to do. We had dry pox last summer in our free range flock. You can apply neosproin to the external sores when they rupture to prevent secondary infection. I don't know if they perscribe antibiotics to prevent secondary infections with the wet. I knkow that they can develop trouble breathing, eating and swallowing. Keep an eye on her.

All the best...
 
Thanks RYU!! So I guess those bumps are part of the wet pox? I just didn't see any mention of them when I was searching about the disease. Yes, the vet did give me Tylosin for secondary infection. She seems to be doing good, considering she has an abcess on the roof of her mouth as well.
