It is common to have positive pregnancy test even after abortion till 3-4 weeks so don't worry about the test positivity.

And then also in case bleeding continues then get an ultrasound done.

Brief Answer:
gynecologist prescription

Misoprostol is easily available but most of the times available only on prescription.

Ultrasound after 15 days of abortion is done to confirm complete emptying of uterus but in case there is no bleeding and pain then you can skip the ultrasound.
