Do I have a malpractice case?

It is hard to know whether you have a malpractice case on the facts presented. This is a legitimate treatment for a used infection, but it sounds like you overdosed on the medicine. Websites indicate the standard dose is the insertion of one tampon 1 to 2 times a day for 12 days straight. If you are advised by the doctor to do more than this then you may have a malpractice case. Otherwise, you may have a products liability case if the medication that you were using was defective. If you want to investigate a malpractice case, you should contact a local medical malpractice attorney (one in your state).  They take these cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed.  Additionally, initial consultations are usually free. You can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research medical malpractice attorneys.  Then, visit each attorney's website and look for a firm that has a record of successful verdicts,  ideally with experience in cases that involve your medical issue. If you are unable to find a lawyer who meets these qualifications within your state, sometimes you may contact an out of state lawyer who can refer you to a qualified attorney in your state while providing support related to the issues of medicine. Below are some articles you may find helpful.  They are written for a New Jersey audience (where I practice) but the ideas discussed in these articles usually apply in most other jurisdictions as well.

Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney. I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
