Post-D&C Complications: Infection & Abdominal/Back Pain - Urgent Concern

Question
Hi I'm a little worry, I had a D&C two weeks ago today I'm not bleeding but in the last 2 days I suddenly started to having cramps & body pain, the pain goes to my lower back too, the pain sometimes comes and goes, sometimes it feels worst If I do much walking, I had no fever but I noticed if I go to bed and my abdomen hurts I get like chills and then I wake up sweating like when you sweet a fever. I have some other minor symptoms like a headache but I think I was also getting a cold. My 1st appointment after the D & C is next week, but I'm worry because they didn't gave me any antibiotics, is it possible that I'm getting an infection. What do you think is happening to me?

Answer
Hello, RB,

This does sound like an infection is a possibility. As far as giving you antibiotics is concerned, there are a lot of different kinds of infections, and antibiotics only helps with an infection caused by bacteria. This sounds like you need to get immediate attention. Do not go back to the people who provided the abortion. Find a doctor you can trust, or go to the emergency room. Please get immediate attention, and then let me know how you are doing. I will say a prayer for you.
