Will have to avoid too much walking.
Get x rays for knee done.
Can give intraarticular Hyaluronic acid with intraarticular steroids for temporary relief
Next Steps
Visit nearest orthopaedic surgeon regarding this and they will decide based on clinical examination and x ray findings

I would suggest avoiding walking while going on pilgrimage...Use dolly services walking aids and OA knee braces, rather than taking pain medication.
Sprays and ointments with a hot pack or ice pack application..sufficient rest at night keeping legs in an elevated position..with all these measures.. she can have less pain..if at all needed can take paracetamol ..

There is no such wonder drug
She is having osteoarthritis
Ask her to wear knee cap
And plan for intraarticular injection for some relief
