Hi.
Thanks for your query.
With the history of termination we have to think about an abdominal complication like a perforation or peritonitis of a mild form.
Of course a mild form of gastroenteritis, sequel of antibiotic therapy can also be thought about.
I would advise all such patients to have a consultation of a Surgeon to get a clinical examination and ultrasonography and X-ray of the abdomen in standing position to get an additional information and treatment according to the findings.
