Warning signs of TSS include sudden fever (usually 102°F or more), vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, fainting (or near fainting when standing up), and/or a rash that looks like a sunburn.

In the case of pre-existing infections it is recommended that appropriate treatment be instituted.Rarely, displacement and ingestion of a nasal dressing may occur. Merocel sponge is non-toxic and is considered safe to pass once it is completely in the alimentary tract. The patient should be monitored in the normal manner for the ingestion of any non-toxic material. Clinical confirmation that packing material has not been aspirated or is not in danger of being aspirated should be assessed. If aspiration should occur, prompt medical intervention is imperative with close patient monitoring and airway support pending the removal of the material.
