Brief Answer:
PLEASE INSIST ON CHECKUP AND WORKUP.

Detailed Answer:
Okay, the symptoms might be those of endometritis, but the fever would be prolonged and high grade in that case.
You need a vaginal swab and endometrial biopsy to confirm the diagnosis for sure.
Please insist on getting that done.
Also a transvaginal ultrasound scan to check that the uterus is completely empty and healed completely.
You need to insist on a checkup, and it is unwise to take antibiotics without a proper internal check up.
Take care.
