Suggest Treatment For Watery Blisters For An 86-year-old Female

Hello,
The blisters could be due to herpes outbreak as that is common for people at the age of your mother.
However, it's also true can be a possible allergy reaction. A picture of the blisters would help determine the right diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
