Probably not - but,: Here's some good info: http://www.tampax.com/en-us/tampon-information/tampon-101/tss-or-toxic-shock-syndrome.aspx So far, your temp is not high enough but keep a check going. Also, two hours is usually not long enough to be a problem so it is probably not TSS. But it may be a flu or some other thing that's still not pleasant. If things get better - you're okay. If worse, go to a clinic or ER.
