Runny nose, cough and calf pain

Question

Asked for Female, 29 Years

I had a runny nose last week for three days and felt like I was better. Then on the fourth day I started having a fever and cough added to the mix. Now, on the seventh day my calf muscles ache. I can barely walk to the toilet. I am living in a foreign country and don't think communication with a doctor would be very pleasant. I am not sure if I should wait another 24 hours? I do realize that I have barely eaten over the past few days so I'm forcing myself to eat a bit.
