Tampon Questions: Dryness and Leaving in too long

Okay I have two questions related to tampons:

1. Whenever I used tampons for the majority of my period my vagina gets super dry. This usually lasts for a week to two weeks after my period. Besides lube, is there anything that I can do to stop the dryness. It is really annoying.

2. Yesterday I had a very hectic day and completely forgot that I had put a tampon in at 8 in the morning. It wasn't until about 11 pm that I took it out. So like 15 hours total. Which I know is horrible. Now my vagina has been burning like mad and the entire vulva area is red and irritated. Is this just because I left the tampon in too long? will it go away? Should I go and see my gyno?

1) Use less absorbent tampons, switch to pads when you're sleeping, drink more water.
