Yes Medicines will help to some extent for pain but if it is already 2 months with this pain and MRI report she needs surgery in the form of arthroscopic meniscectomy . But this surgery will be helpful if there is no gross arthritis of the joint .If there is gross arthritis then  the surgical procedure will be a different one named Total Knee Replacement. Continue with exercises and physiotherapy.
