(You may need help of your local doctor to get these medicines.)
--. Fomentation with warm water. Let the part not be exposed to cold.
--. Sleep on a hard bed with soft bedding.
--. Keep no pillow under the head.
--. Avoid painful acts & activities.
-- .Do mild exercises for affected part.
--.(for exercises,take help of a physiotherapist or visit my you tube channel 'Dr N C Gupta yoga simplified')
--Do not ignore, let it not become beginning of a major problem.

Hi. See the accident two months ago doesn't seem to have anything with her upper arm pain.
Patients with high bp and heart problems can have frozen shoulder.
Next Steps
Do find out if she has difficulty while raising her arm and while touching her back with that hand.
Health Tips
If she does have difficulty in doing the above activities, she may have Frozen Shoulder. I'm that case, she may need to apply a hot water bag twice a day, then apply any painkilling ointment, take mild painkillers and start shoulder exercises.

If she had pain for 2 months it might be bone or cuff injury. Consult orthopaedic dr. Physio might help. Hot or ice fomentation might help. Do scapular and cuff exercises. Consult through Practo or near by dr to get prescription to avoid any allergy or drug interactions
