Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks for this follow up precision.

I have reviewed the details of this medication. While this is not strange, I am not particularly worried. This will resolve spontaneously. For now, much fluids and fruits would be okay. Simply observe and all will be fine within 5-7days.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
