What Causes Vaginal Discomfort After An Abortion While On Medication?

I had an abortion 4 days ago and I was a little over 11 weeks pregnant. My doctors did not prescribe me antibiotics for after care but did give me antibiotics BEFORE performing the procedure. I currently am experiencing extreme vaginal discomfort with a moderate constant itch. What could this be.?

Antibiotic course is require to cure infection
Maintain proper pelvic hygiene by using V vaginal plus wash
