Can TSS Be Cured By Taking Oral Antibiotics?
Daughter was hospitalized 24hrs and discharged with 7day antibiotics. She forgot to remove tampon which stayed in for 2-3weeks. First run of tests indicate bacterial infection but hospital did not state diagnosis per say. I think she had/has TSS. Will she be ok with just the oral antibiotics.

Hello,
She must not have had toxic shock syndrome, or else she would not have been discharged from the hospital. As the name implies in toxic shock, people are in shock and usually need to be on a ventilator in the ICU.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kathy Robinson
