Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
For pain relief, you could use paracetamol or diclofenac, as and when necessary (can be repeated thrice daily if required).
As three weeks have already passed, your daughter should recover soon.
If pain persists for another week or so, please take her back to the doctor for a review.
Best wishes,
