"...no sweat, it'll pass..."

".......no worries, it will pass...."

"no sweat; it's just a scratch"


The list goes on and on.

(Don't worry.) It'll heal in no time.

It's an old idiom used to reassure someone not to worry about a wound. For example, a doctor would say it after giving a patient stitches, or a mother could say it after putting a bandaid on her child.
