Hi there
Thanks for the query
The pain is most likely due to Osteoarthritis due to wear and tear of the knee joint.
She can apply warm packs to the painful region. Avoid bending knee much. Paracetamol 500mg for 4 times a day for 2 weeks will be helpful if she had no allergy to Paracetamol or any liver problems.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
