A member asked:

I didn't leave a tampon in more than a few hours, but suddenly i had a high temperature 100.6 on the 3rd day of my period. should i wait to see a doct?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe.: Toxic shock syndrome is fairly rare with today's tampons; especially in light of the duration in which you used your tampon. Your fever may not be related to your menses. Depending on your other symptoms, you may need to be seen by a doctor.
