Hi, thank you for posting at Health Care Magic Forum.

The symptoms you are experiencing are indicative for possible uterine and/or vaginal infection as a complication of the earlier abortion.
I'd suggest to do the following tests:
1- Abdominal Ultrasound(focusing mainly on the uterus).
2- Manual examination by gynecologist, to see uterus cervix.
3- Vaginal swab testing and culture&sensitivity to determine the right infection.
4- Complete blood profile.
5- Urine analysis.
Based on the results of the tests, you might need to oral and local (vaginally) antibiotics.

At the end, I strongly suggest to contact a gynecologist for further evaluation.

Take Care,
Dr. Behar Greca.
