What can I do about my iPhone lock button not working?

I noticed as of yesterday that my iPhone lock button only worked on one side. My mom won't take it in the apple store because she said there was nothing they could do about it, and I'm afraid that eventually the whole lock button will stop working. I'm very obsessive compulsive, so even they smallest things will set me off and worry me to death. Is there anything I could do to help it in any way? I already have the assistive touch on

Depeneding on whether you have warranty with apple or not, it's £65 a year and can get it when ever, they just gave me a brand new phone because my lock button didn't work properly.
The warranty covers faultys in the phone and everything apart from smashed screens

Hope it helped xxx

For now you're going to have to use your iPhone with the assistive touch. You have to go to the apple store

The best thing for you to do with your iPhone is to sell it and get a Samsung Galaxy S4. There. I said it.
