Had A Shunt Operation. Developed A Rash Due To Allergy To Cypro. Could It Be Gout?

Hi I never have done this. But I m going to try Thank You. My sister had a shunt operation about 2 weeks ago. She is 79 yrs. old. Developed a rash due to allergy to Cypro. All over, was given Benadril. She got better. Now she has a rash on her foot and pain in her toes at night.could this be related to antibiotics given during and after her operation? Or could it be Gout. She was given a cream to put on.
