Hello Thanks for writing to us with your health concern. The tampon is already removed. It appears as if you are having some kind of infection already. A vaginal swab has been taken, please await the results. Meanwhile, do get back to the doctor with the clinical history that you did not mention. You might need a specialist to have internal gynaecological check up. Also a pelvic ultrasound scan is required. do not neglect this as TSS is a distinct possibility. It is better to take a course of antibiotics to clear the infection. A sample from the pouch of Douglas maybe taken if fluid is observed therein during ultrasound all the best.
