Second degree tear??

So I just delivered a baby girl Wednesday the 25th we are back home and I am recovering from a second-degree tear:( what is everyone using that helps relieve the burning sensation when you potty? I’ve been using iced pads, derma, Plast, and witch hazel.

I tore two weeks ago when I gave birth nd I’ve been applying coconut oil and tea tree oil. Coconut oil has healing and soothing properties and tea tree oil is antiviral and antibacterial.

Advil/Tylenol, tucks pads, peri spray bottle and sits bath. It sucks, but it will stop after a few weeks! In the moment it feel never ending discomfort.

Seconding using the peri bottle while going! Also spraying dermoplast before and after. I also had a second degree tear and my OB advised against using padsicles for more than a few days since the cold can restrict blood flow and impede healing. I did warm water sitz baths a few times per day and that helped

Lidocaine spray! Use dermaplast first, let it dry, and then lidocaine spray!
