Hi
You should get X ray lumbar spine and knee done. If it is normal the she only needs bed rest for lower back pain and knee brace or crepebandage for knee pain along with ice application and mild analgesics.
If the pain does not subside after a week can consult peditriac ortho surgeon.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
