Hello,
If her hip pain is caused by a muscle or tendon strain, osteoarthritis, or tendinitis, you can usually relieve it with over-the-counter pain medication such as acetaminophen or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen or naproxen. She can take anything in diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
