I have had 3 bouts of dizziness and my bp was low 96/62 and then it passes, no temp but sensitive skin as if getting a temp.. Did not tell my doctor this info. Doctor did a vaginal swab.

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.
I find this answer helpful
