Beside medicine she should avoid squatting, cross leg sitting and climbing stairs. Need to start physiotherapy after consulting doctor. If this too does not help need to take advice from Arthroscopic surgeon.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Gaurang B Shah, Orthopaedic Surgeon
