Brief Answer:
Can be arthritis or tendonitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The hot and sore joints of the hand are suggestive of arthritis. This can be related to tendonitis also. She needs a proper examination and a few investigations for a proper diagnosis and specific treatment. Till then taking mild pain killers and doing a hot compress in the area to reduce the inflammation will help.
I hope this answers your query.
