I could recommend maybe trying something with Guaifensesin like Robitussin cough syrup. It will help thin some of the mucous and help a bit. Otherwise, it sounds like your mom is doing everything that should help. I know it is a fretful time for your mother and your father and you. I hope and pray for strength for all of you and a quick and easy recovery!
I suffer from allergies as well and many mornings and evenings it is difficult to breath and I did not have any surgeries. At times it feels as if your breath is being taken away and it is quit alarming.
