Is It Serious If Had Purple Spots All Over Body After Taking Two Units Of Blood?

My mother had two units of blood within the last 7-10 days. She just told me today that she had little purple spots showing up all over. After I read her paperwork it said she should seek help ASAP but she thinks she s ok. She s had blood previously with surgeries and developed Hep C from that. How serious is this should I get her to Hospital ASAP or just call her Dr in morning?

HI
Well come to HCM
No this is not the normal condition but this could be due to the allergic condition because of the transfusion and this may be due to the transient allergic condition and in my opinion this need to be treated with anti-histamine and the best option would be Tab Levocetrizine 10 mg three times in day, take care.
