She did not have any sprain recently. No strenuous work. Some tenderness at the calf. No color changes or swelling. Also, it is in left knee, sorry I mentioned right knee.
Hope this helps.

Brief Answer:
Pain killer with muscle relaxant

Detailed Answer:
HI,

Thanks for the information.

The better solution in terms of medications would be a pain killer in combination with muscle relaxant. Aceclofenac with Chlorzoxazone is a better choice available as tab MOVON MR.

Do continue hot compresses.

Ask her to rest for a week for better recovery.
