Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
-Apply an ice pack in 20-minute intervals may also help.
-take OTC medications: Calf pain can also be soothed from taking common pain relievers such as ibuprofen or naproxen.
-Light stretching can help ease calf pain. After the symptoms subside slightly, you should stretch your calf muscles.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
