Your mother needs an examination of the wound. Serous discharge usually doesn’t require antibiotics . Regular dressing would be sufficient. If it progresses to pus discharge, or if there’s pain at the surgical site with wound dehiscence, antibiotics have to be started.
Next Steps
Consult a doctor for further management

If it's just serous discharge from wound then daily dressing for 7-10 days may work. If there is pus or wound gapping then needs antibiotics coverage too
