She seems to be suffering from viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat and nose infection. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. You need to consult your doctor for treatment as she had a surgery recently and surgical site infection needs to be ruled out
Next Steps
Consult your doctor for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
