OB-GYN (Obstetrician-Gynecologist) Questions Toxic Shock Syndrome

Left a tampon for 15 hours

Hi, I accidentally left my tampon in for 15 hours, but I put it while my period barely starter last night and it stayed overnight and sometime im the morning real period started. I'm scared of toxic shock syndrome. Now it has been 2 and a half hours since I woke up and I don't have symptoms.

Yours are probably ok if it has been a short time. You can check with your physician if you have any questions.
I would recommend that you not use a tampon for the rest of this period. You can also call your Gyn to get seen today.
