It is most likely due to osteoarthritis. All the treatment are temporary except knee replacement. Consult orthopaedic doctor near by. She may benefit from quads exercises and hot or ice fomenting. She may benefit from food supplements for time being. For prescription consult online through Practo to get ideal prescription after rule out allergy and drug interactions. Avoid squats and sitting on floor and stairs- those increases pain.

It looks like Osteoarthritis, treatment depends on the severity of the damage. However, Rest, mild analgesics like 1gram of paracetamol, hot fomentation, quadriceps exercises (like leg extension), can give a lot of relief.
Health Tips
avoid squatting and sitting on the floor.
