A member asked:
I just got off my period and on one of the days i left a tampon in for 9-10 hours. i have been having diarrhea and throwing up. could i have tss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
likely stomach bug: Diarrhea and vomiting can be a part of tss, however, absence of fever, skin reddness, and other manifestations, makes the possibility remote. Should you develop more symptoms, seek a medical attention.
