Chances are you've just got an ordinary cold that happened to coincide with your period. To find out the specific symptoms associated with toxic shock syndrome, you can read the instruction label that comes in the box of tampons. You can also find information online, though you'll want to make sure the website is a good one.
It could cause discomfort to insert a tampon if you are not used to having things in your vagina. It could also be uncomfortable if you are pushing the tampon at the wrong angle or do not insert it fully. Discomfort upon insertion is not generally a sign that anything is wrong.
If you are still feeling unwell, let your mother know and perhaps she can make an appointment for you to see your doctor. You can explain your fears to him/her and they can give you more information.
Your mother might also be able to help you; while it may be embarassing to talk to her, chances are she would want you to tell her if you had health worries.
Best of luck.
