Hello ma'am and welcome.
A light pink discharge is considered normal when seen at the end of or at the beginning of a period. I would advise you to wait for 2-3 more days, not longer. And if the pain and discharge do not clear, then please do go ahead and call youe doctor.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
