Toxic shock syndrome ??

Question

Okay, TMI and please be kind
I accidentally left a dryish tampon in for 18 hours. I went to the bathroom because I was experiencing really bad stomach pains not like period cramps just like a sharp almost burning pain and found the tampon. It was completely dry other than some discharge and now my stomach feels really tight and I’m nauseous. Does this sound like TSS? I have three little kids and I exclusively breastfeed my youngest so I don’t wanna have to go in the er if possible.

Answer

Just keep a look out for signs and symtoms of tss. If anything it could be start of an infection with having a build up of bad bacteria. You can get home urine tests to see if you have an infection save going to doctor

Answer

Requires a medical diagnosis
A high fever, low blood pressure, vomiting, and rash are some symptoms.
People may experience:
Pain areas: in the abdomen or muscles
Whole body: high fever, low blood pressure, chills, dizziness, fainting, fatigue, or lightheadedness
Gastrointestinal: diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting
Skin: peeling or rashes
Also common: organ dysfunction, fast breathing, headache, insufficient urine production, mental confusion, or sore throat

Answer

Answer
