Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
A lost tampoon is likely to cause a bacterial vaginal infection. The foul odor you are having will not subside on its own. You need to consult your gynecologist for proper antibiotic treatment. Meanwhile watch out for any fever with chills and rigor which indicates a septicaemia.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
