Please help! got medicine for vaginitis but still feeling symptoms of sore/throbbing pain in vagina. my vagina also feels swollen. what is going on?

Allergic reaction?: It is possible to have an allergic reaction to cream / suppositories (if that was what you used). This can cause swelling and pain. Go back to the doctor and get checked again.
