This indicates coolant being burnt through the engine. You will need to check for a faulty head gasket. While head is off, also have head tested for cracks/warpage before reinstalling.

Just keep coolant in the system full and keep an eye on the temp. Gauge. But I wouldn't drive it unless I absolutely had to.
