Hi, this is not normal and you may be having a different infection from thrush. The pain is definitely not normal. You will need to see your regular doctor for this.
1. Pain indicates that the infection that you thought you have treated has worsened. Your doctor will have to do a speculum exam and maybe send some swabs for further studies. Other infections such as vaginosis have to be considered.
2. The other things to look at are hygiene (usage of pH-unfriendly vaginal cleansers, pantyliners, pads etc.) and your sugar control. Impaired sugar control can lead to recurrent infections.
3. Also, have you had your pap smear done regularly?
4. Any possibility and history of STDs?

Thank you.
