Q: what to do if you mistakenly put triple antibiotic ointment inside of your vagina?

: Just don't continue the practice. Whatever was put there will eventually dissipate over time and be carried out in vaginal mucus. Some of the medication will likely be absorbed but have no significant effect unless you are allergic to a component in the med. Then it could produce a local skin reaction.
