Answers:
no i think the symptoms are much worse.. i hope you're okay xHealth Question & Answer

First of all, NEVER keep a tampon in more than eight hours.
Just because your stomach hurts does NOT mean you have TSS.

Symptoms:
Flu-like symptoms, such as muscle aches and pains, stomach cramps, a headache, or a sore throat. The flu-like symptoms of TSS are common to many illnesses, but they develop much more quickly and are more severe than symptoms caused by a less serious illness.
Sudden fever over 102F.
Vomiting and diarrhea.
A rash that looks like a sunburn.
Signs of shock, including low blood pressure and rapid heartbeat, often with lightheadedness, fainting, nausea, vomiting, or restlessness and confusion.
Conjunctivitis (pinkeye).
Pain at the site of an infection (if a wound or injury to the skin is involved).
Involvement of more than one organ system, most commonly the lungs and kidneys.
Blood infection (sepsis) that affects the entire body.
Skin tissue death (necrosis), which occurs early in the syndrome.
Skin tissue shedding, which occurs during recovery.

If you experience these, see a doctor.Health Question & Answer

I wouldn't have thought so. Usually a tampon has to be removed as you've forgotten it's there - for longer than over night.
Massage your tummy - and dare I say it, have sex - anything to get a super flow going.
If you feel ill at all, apart from the tummy pain, or have a temperature get to your doctor asap.
Use a hot water bottle, take some paracetomol and if the tummy pain hasn't gone by morning then go to your doctor (assuming no other symptoms).
Hope it all goes away soon.Health Question & Answer

TSS Warning Signs
Symptoms of toxic shock syndrome can be hard to recognize because they mimic the flu. If you experience sudden high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, fainting, or a rash that looks like a sunburn during your period or a few days after, contact your doctor right away. also, if you're wearing a tampon, remove it immediately. One or two weeks after initial symptoms begin, flaking and peeling of the skin occurs, mainly on the palms and soles. If your doctor determines that your symptoms are TSS, you will probably be sent to a hospital for treatment. With proper treatment, patients usually get well in two to three weeks.

Women under 30, especially teenagers, are at a higher risk for TSS, because some females that age may not yet have antibodies to the toxin. Using any kind of tampon--cotton or rayon of any absorbency--puts a woman at greater risk for TSS than using menstrual pads
Health Question & Answer

Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a serious but uncommon bacterial infection. TSS was originally linked to the use of tampons, but is now also known to be associated with the contraceptive sponge and diaphragm birth control methods. TSS has also resulted from wounds secondary to minor trauma or surgery incisions where bacteria have been able to enter the body and cause the infection.

The symptoms of TSS include sudden high fever, a faint feeling, watery diarrhea, headache, and muscle aches. If your child has these symptoms, call your doctor right away.Health Question & Answer
