Hello XXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
First of all I want to reassure you that this is self limiting condition, so do not worry about this.
I suggest her to-
Take proper rest and avoid activities that cause pain and worsen her symptoms.
Do hot fomentation several times a day especially before the activities that increase her symptoms.
Continue using Aceclo-p as advised by her doctor to reduce pain and inflammation. Applying ice gel will be also helpful.
The pain usually subside within few weeks, so I suggest her to follow these simple things.
Hope this will help you. Let me know if you have any more concern.
Wishing her speedy recovery.
Regards.
