Hi there. Ankle sprain with pain referred to calf area along with fever suggests infection in ankle joint. Kindly get aspiration of ankle joint done with specimen sent for pus culture and sensitivity. Get admitted in a hospital immediately for administration of intravenous antibiotics and pain killers. You will have to get some blood investigation done as well as adviced by your attending doctor. Good luck.
