This could be a completely normal sign especially if nothing else is noticed. If this presentation persists, and should you notice any other sign, a check up would be required. Differentials in these cases are many, from gastrointestinal diseases (infection/inflammations often dietary related) to any disease that can spread systemically (causing lethargy for example) like infection, and anything that can cause pain/discomfort.
