Floaters indicate liquified gel of d eye ball. But in rare case they may indicate bleeding also. A slight increase in floaters is not a problem. But if u find sudden increase in amount of floaters then u need to consult smd ophthalmologist immediately....
Next Steps
Increase intake of vitamin c products like Amla, citrus fruits etc. keep pillow below d head while sleeping
