Gall stone pain requires gall bladder surgery. However considering current COVID scene, you can delay it till things improve.
Just remember if she develops jaundice, fever and pain upper abdomen simultaneously then you must go hospital immediately as it can be cholecystitis or choledocholithiasis( life threatening if not treated)
Next Steps
for pain give her analgesics like paracetamol and avoid fatty food.
