Brief Answer:
no active treatment needed
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
There is nothing to worry as yet because it is not going to get absorbed and affect your baby that way.
But still in case you feel excessive discharge per vaginum or pain abdomen then report to the emergency room as at times it can cause excessive gut motility leading to uterine contractions.
So stay cautious and in case you don't feel any symptoms Like that then nothing to worry.
Take care

Brief Answer:
nothing to worry
Detailed Answer:
It is not absorbed in a quantity that can affect the child and that the absorbed amount is distributed in a very large volume of blood and intracellular fluid.
So in case you don't have any symptoms of pain and discharge there is nothing to worry.
