Welcome to the HCM

I understand your concerns but kindly mention the name of drug he has been given. If it's about oral polio drops then don't worry as it won't harm him at all.

Brief Answer:
Do not worry

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for replying. Do not worry. Oral polio vaccine is perfectly safe and won't cause any side effects. You may continue with crocin or Paracetamol for fever spikes which are more than100 degrees fahrenheit.

Hopefully it will be of help.
Take care
