Hello and welcome to HCM,
A high vaginal swab is required to isolate the infectious agent causing the symptoms of brown discharge and sores in vagina.
The cause of these symptoms is an infection possibly bacterial infection.
The infectious agent could be resistant to the usual antibiotics prescribed to you.
Thus, culture and drug susceptibility are required to treat the infection.
Thanks and take care
