Hello
Abortion pills are known to cause headache, fever, dizziness as a adverse effect of the abortion pills and usually respond to use of analgesics and usually should come down in 1-2 day.
Since you have taken paracetamol and still if it is not showing response you need to consult your doctor for further examination and treatment to rule out any abortion associated complication as a cause for headache and fever.

Thank you
