How can toxic shock syndrome be treated?
Patient: I am very woried i was on my period last four days later i noticed bleeding with foul smell and thick puss coloured mucus. Today i took a bath giving extra attention down there trying to feel for the source of smell. I felt around deep as i could looking for maybe cuts or bumps. To my horror i felt something weird it didnt hurt to touch it so i pulled it out. It was a black tampon it smelled like death. Should i go to doctor i dont know how long it was up there, i have amoxicillan here can i just take those? Doctor: Hello Dear.     Thank you for using Healthcare Magic.  I read your query and understand your concern.I think you are heaving not toxic  shock . Its symptoms are sudden high fever, low blood pressure (hypotension), vomiting or diarrhea, a rash resembling a sunburn, particularly on your palms and soles, confusion, muscle pain, redness of your eyes, mouth and throat, seizures, headaches.   If you develop any of this go to ER.   Best regards
