It's called viral myositis and generally occurs after a viral illness and your reports are also suggestive of that only.
Illness mainly affects the calf muscles due to dehydration so make sure you keep her well hydrated, especially during illnesses and humid weather. And you can give painkillers temporarily for pain relief
Next Steps
Look for redness and swelling in that area

This case appears to be of a post viral myositis with the lab results supporting the diagnosis. Keep the baby well hydrated. Rest and local compresses might help relieve the pain. Pain relief meditation can be given if pain is not tolerable.
Next Steps
check for local tenderness, if there is difficulty walking or loss of sensations anytime.
