Hello
Thanks for the query.
Medical abortion with any pills should only be done under medical supervision.
She could be having some retained products of conception, which can cause infection.
She needs to consult a gynecologist at the earliest, and have an examination and ultrasound, and if necessary, surgical evacuation.
Take care
