Could Sore Throat, Fever And Sickness Be The Symptoms Of TSS?

Hi, it's a very long story, but I forgot I had a tampon in since saturday night. I took it out tonight (Monday night) when I realized it was still in there, but I'm a little worried about TSS. I have a fever and a sore throat, and honestly feel ill in general, which I read are some of the symptoms, but I'm not sure if I should go to a doctor about it. I would really appreciate any advice.

thanks for posting your query to HCM.
TSS is a acute and sever condition caused by Staphylococcus toxin . but TSS manifest acutely with high fever , low blood pressure , body ache , impaired renal and hepatic function . but throa pain is no a feature of TSS. So I donot think about TSS. You can take :
Tab Aceclophenac 100mg with paracetamol 500 mg for relieving symptom .
and if symptom presist or aggravated consult to your gynecologist .
take care .
