Brief Answer:
Yes, she is having gallstones pain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Yes, this is typical gallstones pain. It appear in the upper right abdomen and radiates to the back. Nausea and vomiting can be present. Symptoms are usually triggered by fatty foods, spicy foods or alcohol.
If the pain does not go away, she should visit a doctor as soon as possible. Gallstones can cause gallbladder inflammation what can lead even to SEPSIS. That is why, she should not wait any longer (5 days is enough).
Abdominal ultrasound should be done and surgery considered.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

Detailed Answer:
Simple blood work and CRP level will tell if there is any infection. Gallstones can not be cured without surgery. Gallstones surgery is usually done laparoscopicaly so its not that bad.
To help with the pain she should try Metamizole and Buscolisine. Hot bath can be also helpful.
