Get re-checked by MD: You need to make sure that the infection is gone and not "smoldering" by visiting your GYN MD and re-taking your temperature. Unfortunately, some pelvic infections are like "trash fires" that are treated with water (antibiotics) but continue to "smolder" and re-ignite at a later date causing more damage and pain.
