Well cetrizine will not have any effect on pain . The pain in her knee joint with swelling could be infection in joint which needs an x ray. Her foot pain could be because of nerve problem secondary to diabetes .
Ask your doctor for a prescription of pregabalin .That will help in pain management. Also get x ray as advised.
