Could be several things. People can get cold during surgery (the rooms are generally kept in the mid or high 60's) or the warming devices and draping materials can make people sweat. People can also shiver after anesthesia despite a normal body temperature. Anesthetics are well known to cause problems for the usual body temperature regulatory mechanisms and are typically not allergic sorts of reactions.
As an aside, the numbers and sorts of reactions people now characterize as 'allergies' has gone nuts. Part of that is the numbers and sorts of meds people are now prescribed but a lot of it is people (patients and healthcare sorts) characterizing known side effects as allergies.
