Hi, I think you should take proper antibiotics to get relief from abdominal infection. Calf cramps can be due to dehydration and electrolyte losses that occur due to diarrhea. Trying taking liquids with Electrolyte powder like ORS or take lemon water with salt and sugar or juices like orange juice .Try taking probiotics and semisolid diet.Hope it helps.
