Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

The abdominal pain and fever is probably not related to the episode of intercourse. It can, however, be related to other things such as:

1. Pregnancy - you should check a pregnancy test
2. Viral gastroenteritis - you might just have a stomach flu
3. A bladder infection - common, and even more common related to intercourse

So, you need a urine test and a pregnancy test - I hope this helps!
