Get an exam!: If you think it's in there, but you cannot reach it, you should see the doctor asap to have it removed.

Well, get checked!: If you are concerned another tampon us still inside you need someone to take a good look to check. A tampon that is left inside can cause a very serious infection called toxic shock syndrome, so if there it needs to be removed. If you do not have another one after all, then you will be relieved!
