Hi,
According to your complaints it seems to be an allergic reaction to the oral or topical medicines taken after surgery. I would recommend her to take antihistaminic like tablet cetrizine 10 mg twice daily and apply topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream on the affected skin twice daily for 10 days.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
