Hallow Dear,
Pain in abdomen is known after abortion. It is due to the contractions of the uterus which keeps the bleeding in control and also helps to expel out any products left out in the uterine cavity. If the pain is intolerable, it may be minimized by some pain killers like Paracetamol.
However, if you have caught some infection, the pain will be associated with foul smelling discharge and will require an antibiotics treatment. Please report to your Gynaecologist to find out the possibility of infection and then decide about the medication with medical advice only.
I hope this helps you.
