Post operation she improved, and everything was fine but last few days she had a vomiting tendency during eating. and last 2/3 days we observed some blood is coming with the caugh.

Hello,
Her symptoms could be related to a gastric ulcer. I recommend consulting with a gastroenterologist and performing a fibro-gastroscopy. In the meantime, I recommend taking a PPI (omeprazole, pantoprazole) twice daily.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
