I left my tampon in for around 12 hours las night, falling asleep quite a few hours after I put it in, and woke up this morning with a sore throat. I already had a runny nose the day before, but now I have a small cough too. Are these early symptoms of TSS and will I develop it? I am currently using a pad as I was totally freaked out, and recently had bacterial vagenosis which was treated with antibiotics. Should I go to see a doctor. I live in the UK by the way.
