Walk it off if you can. Slowly stretch it out. I don't know if you can drink milk or not but have a glass. Sometimes dehydration can cause cramping indirectly by the loss of needed 'salts' that control contraction of muscles; sodium (salt), potassium, magnesium, and calcium are needed. Drink some gatorade or powerade to replace the lost chemicals.

I always have lower calves cramps,
since I started stretching my lower calves it seems its
gone, & haven't had any cramps since then.
just sit up straight on a chair, straighten up 1 feet counting
up to10 push or pull you heel, do this every 2nd day.
*1st week it will be muscle pain, then later you'll get
use to it.
try it out it works.
I don't know how far its true, that January born always
has cool problem.
