Brief Answer:
Needs wound care.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. The tear in vaginal area of an 8 year old needs symptomatic treatment. Cleaning of the wound with saline water and applying topical hydrocortisone cream available over the counter in every super store can be applied topically. Average time to heal will be a week at most. You may also add some oral ibuprofen syrup for the pain and inflammation. If the wound is deeper and not resolving, visit a paediatrician for further management.
I hope it helps. take good care of your kid and yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
