Welcome to health care magic, I have gone through your question very diligently and I really appreciate your concern for your mother.
Since she has undergone a long course of chemotherapy so there are few possibility of her present condition

multivitamin and calcium supplements are also advisable
ask her to have plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables

Respected Doctor,
She is being treated in Surgical Oncology Department of Dr. XXXXXXX XXXXXXX Lohia Hospital XXXXXXX under Dr. XXXXXXX XXXXXXX After her surgery, the doctor told us that he has removed the Ovaries and Uterus. He orally informed us that there are tiny tumors still left under the diaphragm that can not be surgically removed. But they will be treated from chemotherapy. Since then chemo has been done 5 times.
Other than the ear problem she don't have any other major problem. Though she has difficulty in the excretion process for two days when the chemotherapy is done, but after 2-3 days it comes to normal.
As per your requirement, i have uploaded all the reports that we have.
We are eagerly waiting for your reply.
Thanks:

Brief Answer:
Need to consult a ENT surgeon for detailed check up
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr Prasson
welcome again and thanks for all the details
I have gone through reports you have attached with it.
Her reports are suggestive of low hemoglobin and high liver enzymes which might be related to course of chemotherapy .
In my opinion you should consult a ENT surgeon for physical examination and further evaluation to rule out the cause for whistling sound in ear.
She has been prescribed all the required medicine and multivitamin supplements so I would advise her to continue with the same treatment and follow her doctor's advice.
Hope I could answer your question, pleas do let me know of you have any more queries.
