Definitely check with your doctor. And your mom. They have all-night doc-in-the-boxes in most places these days, maybe you could get in to be seen tonight.
Your problem could be just irritation, or it could be the beginning of an infection that sometimes leads to toxic shock syndrome. So please, don't mess around with it. An immediate, safe thing to do to ease the discomfort is to apply some really healthy, organic "virgin" coconut oil to the area with very, very clean hands. You can even put it inside a little bit. Coconut oil is great for common yeast infections, because it is an anti-fungal. It can also destroy certain kinds of viruses and certain kinds of bacteria, but please don't assume that this is the only thing you need to do. It might be a simple case of yeast or irritation, but you don't want to risk missing an dangerous infection.
In the meantime, avoid tampons and stick with pads. And never, never leave a tampon in for more than 8 hours. I'd say 4 hours is better. They make such thin, absorbent pads these days that I would recommend you stick with those unless you are going swimming, or something like that.
You could be having an allergic reaction to the tampon...you should probably go see a doctor.
that must be it. remember to change tampons before going to bed.
An infection (an example only) of your vagina is a possibility but the only way to know for sure is to see your doctor for further evaluation of the situation to see what they think is going on.
But even before seeing the doctor please let your mom know what's going on so that she can help keep an eye on the situation.
ice it
its probably toxic shock syndrome which if left untreated can be really serious........ you should probably go to your doctor ASAP
I'm sure you are ok, the tampon probably just dried you out, so you are a bit chaffed down there. Just use a little neosporin, and rub it inside the vagina, and out side the lips. Your gonna be ok. And be careful with the tampons. Only use them on heavy day's or when your swimming.
This probably is not TSS, as TSS is extremely rare. The tampon itself might have caused irritation which can happen. Also, if you are having sex during your period, there isn't a lot of lubrication so that can cause irritiation as well. No need to be alarmed, the irritation should go away with within 24 hours. Till then wear a pad.
HOWEVER, if you start feeling nauseous or light headed and have a fever, you need to go the doctor immediately.
