Hi,
She may need to have ultrasound KUB as well as urinalysis to rule out urinary tract infection. Adrenal profiling with cortisol etc., may also be needed along with urinary and serum electrolytes. Treatment would be accordingly. Meanwhile OTC analgesic like Acetaminophen and anti spasmodic like Drotaverine can be helpful.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
