2nd degree tear

Idk what degree tear am I but according to my husband, my tear was almost near my anus already. I didn’t use Epson salt or those donut ring . All I did was to use Dettol to wash the area (my friend told me it will speed up recovery). By the first week I am able to walk and function as per normal (first 3 days I was waddling but still can walk just that I scared). Sitting wise try not to cross your legs, when pooping, don’t strain. Let it come naturally. Remember to wash the area every time you pee/poop and keep the area clean then pat dry and apply medicine. If you’re feeling better down there already, do kegel exercise. Above is mine and may differ for individuals.
