Hello,
Congratulations for becoming a parent.
Yes that stitch line is going to hurt or pain.
If it is paining with in bearing limits then its no need to do anything.
Make sure whether there is any pus coming out of stitch line or not.
If it is so consult your doctor and start some good antibiotic to get rid of the infection.
The burning sensations are due to cut nerve endings over the local area. It will persist for long but with the passing time the cut nerve will regenerate and become normal... No need to worry.
For the pain u can have paracetamol or diclofenac to decrease pain.
Hope this would help.
Thanks
