Hi there. I must admit, ugh, that I did this once myself. I had no complications from it but know that you certainly can. Agree that if you begin to show any symptoms such as a fever, pain, or bloating that you need to call a doctor right away. But otherwise, all should be fine. good luck
If you find you have episodes like that when you have inflammation, illness or infection, it is slightly possible that the tampon gave you a slight infection and you lashed out due to it, but I would think you would know if you had an infection, since you'd have a fever. Take your temp and see.
