Brief Answer:
It may be due to metronidazole
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your mother's situation and problem. In my opinion your mother is having idiosyncratic reaction (allergy) because of metronidazole (metrogyl). It is common with history of opioid allergy. She may need antihistamine, antiallergic and oral steroids SOS.
So, better to consult your doctor and stop metronidazole as soon as possible.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your mother.
Thanks.
