What Causes Sore Throat And Headache After Traveling?
Question: Hello, I was on the last day of my period and put a tampon in on Wednesday morning. Because it was so light, I completely forgot about it and had intercourse with my husband. I discovered it this evening and removed it. I just returned from vacation today and have been in the sun and checked the symptoms of tss and I do have a sore throat and headache, but nothing else. This could be from traveling, etc. But wanted to know if I should go to get checked out?
Brief Answer:
Chances of TSS are almost nil
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Chances of TSS are almost nil if there is no foul smelling vaginal discharge and fever.
If there is any abnormal vaginal discharge, then you should consult an OBGYN specialist for proper examination, vaginal swab examination and treatment should be treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
