Either keep trying to find it and pull it out yourself, or make a doctor's appointment for them to get it out. If you just leave it and do nothing, it can cause an infection, so it needs to come out.

you might have a easier time getting the tampon out while in the shower, and depending on the flow you might be at risk of getting TSS.
