Hello
Since your mother had aortic valve surgery , she must taking some medicine , so such symptoms may be due to some medicine or allergy or urticaria .
This is an operative case ,so in my opinion should not take any medicine , rather consult operating cardiologist and get his help .
In my opinion this is not good to take medicine without consent of operating surgeon.
