Hi,
No, you are not over-reacting as this can be a real emergency to have severe pain in calves after attack of sore throat and fever.
- This may indicate DVT that is deep vein thrombosis and it is a real urgent problem.
- Take her to ER.
Tests of blood.
- Colour Doppler of lower limbs.
- Proper antibiotic course.
- May be she needs admission to the hospital.
- Do not allow her to walk.
- Povidone iodine gargles.
You can give her anti-inflammatory medicine with painkiller property.
- Give us the feedback.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
