Basic treatment for this is use of comfortable soft sole footwear , regular physiotherapy (eccentric calf streching) , hot water fomentation.
You should use analgesic gel/spray and tablet as required.
If this isn't helping you can try steroid/PRP injection.
Next Steps
Do regular physiotherapy and If not improving consult Ortho surgeon.
