Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Usually 16 weeks pregnancy will terminate as mini labor.
So if the fetus, placenta everything came out in a sac without the need of D&C, there is less possibility for infection. If you have any doubt, consult gynecologist and go for ultrasound once.
This will rule out any possibility of retained products and infection.
Then you can go for symptomatic treatment.
Take care.
