I would not give her any type of NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen, etc) as these are highly toxic to cats. I would just try some Benadryl twice a day to see if this helps. See link below. You could also try to use a feliway diffusers and spray to help calm her. Feliway is a cat pheromone that works on some cats to help calm them. I hope this helps! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/cat/benadryl/
