Hello,
Pain and burning sensation in the vagina without getting eased by cipro and acyclovir might be due to fungal infection.
If you had a vaginal swab testing , please send the report to me to see if they checked for candida.
If positive, then, you need to start anti-fungal therapy orally and locally.
Plus, need a stool examination for ova/parasites as sometimes intestinal parasites can cause the same scenario.
All the best.
