Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Pain in calf and ankle can be due to dehydration or excessive use which could have strained your leg.

I would suggest you to have plenty of fluids(lemon juices with a pinch of salt, electrolyte powders, tender coconut water, buttermilk.etc) for rehydration. For pain you can take Dolo 650 or Ibuprofen 3 times a day or when you have a lot of pain.

I hope this answered your query.
