A. it is commonly considered to be normal for now,you should not worry,if it is not along with any other problems repetitively.usually it may not require any kind of treatment or medicine . if you have any more doubts,keep observing, wait and watch and u can also get clinical examination done once by the doctonaer available nearby and get further guidance regarding this.
