A member asked:
I fell asleep with a tampon in and i am freaking out! probably had it in for about 20 hours total! what do i do? i also have mono. i worry about tss

Calmness: First - stay away from tampons for awhile. Second, drink plenty of water and rest for the mono. TSS is a risk with prolonged tampon use. Monitor yourself for symptoms of worsening fever and abdominal pain (which may also be the mono depending on where you are at in that infection). If you start developing worsening symptoms see your MD and tell him of the tampon concerns. Good luck! http://www.webmd.com/women/guide/understanding-toxic-shock-syndrome-basics
