You should not use tampons, nothing in the vagina for 6 weeks. No tampons, douching or intercourse until things have had a chance to heal. Odor is not ok, you may be showing signs of infection so you are best to call your ob and discuss your symptoms. A mild endometritis (infection of the inside of the uterus) can blossom into something worse if left unattended.
