What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Toxic Shock Syndrome?

I m already a little ill as ive not been getting much sleep lately. I just had a long nap and then took my tampon out so it must have been in there about 12 hours. Worried I might have tss because I feel ill, but then again I was already not well so how can I tell? Don t have a rashon my hands and don t think I have a temperature but I do feel a bit sick.

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello there,
I am dr.milan an infectious disease specialist answering your question,
Toxic shock syndrome is caused by staphylococcal aureus infection, and it is very severe kind of presentation of staphylococcal infection with multisystem involvement. In this particular case it may be a staphylococcasl infection nut its not a toxic shock syndrome as i think.
You dnt have fever so it is not leading towards infection, buy here i feel that you have some blood loss so might be you feel weak and feeling like this.
If you think you have some infection you can go for blood culture test.
but it is not necessary right now.
You just check your hemoglobin level this might be lower because of menses bleeding.
Wait for 2-3 days and take healthy green leafy veg diet you will be fine probably.

Hope i have given appropriate guidance to you.
if you have any query you can consult me anytime.
Give me star rating according to your satisfactory level.
Thanking you.
