Can Abortion Medication Cause Sore Throat With White Pus?
I had an medication abortion 2 weeks ago. No complications. I am now getting a sore throat and have white puss in my throat. No pelvic pain, discharge (besides still spotting a bit). I feel good other than my throat. Is this related or just a case of the flu/cold/strep?

Hello,
ITs very unlikely to have a throat infection after the abortion pill. However one can catch vaginal infection after that. It could be due to viral/bacterial infection that is not related to medication.
If this is not settling I suggest you to visit your doctor for your proper checkup and treatment if needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
