Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 8 yr old boy5 years agoA. if it is advised by your doctor then there is no problem because the doctor must have seen the requirement of the medicine. many times this problem subsides and then comes again and will persist for many months and then will go away. kindly do not worry
