Accidentally left tampon in TMI

Had my period for a week. Last few days had really foul smelling brown blood. Dr Google advised possible tampon left in, so took current tampon out and had a feel around and could feel one lodged sideways really high up. Took me a while to get it out, thought I was going to have to get a doctor to remove it, but managed to find a bit of string eventually. My bathroom stank of rotting corpses when I pulled it out and I still can't get the smell off my hands bleugh. I am worrying myself sick about toxic shock now, think it could have been in about 4 days.
Anyone done similar got any advice?
Feel embarrassed ringing the docs and don't have any symptoms for certain although I have now got a headache but I think that's just cause I'm a bit stressed about it x

yep, but couldn't get it out so had to go to A and E Blush they gave me antibiotics to take so you could go to your GP for that?

the headache is probably stress!
