Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
I have seen the attached prescription. She has been started on mild pain killer and local gel. It is best to apply the gel after a hot compress. She can start with the medicines prescribed and in case the pain is still persistent after having 2-4 doses then she may need oral muscle relaxants like Tab. Tolagin 8 mg twice a day for relief.
Hope my answer is helpful.
