Is It Normal For Child To Get Fever And Chills After Taking Oral Polio Vaccination?
my 5 year old son has developed fever and chills 6 days after oral polio vaccine. he also says he has pain in his throat. He also seems fatigued, in that he sleeps more and plays much less. Today is 7 day after the OPV dose. He has completed baby OPV doses according to schedule. Is this normal. Thank You.

Hi dear
Fever and chills along with lassitude, that too after 1 week of administration can't be attributed to opv.
This may indicate some ongoing infection like viral fever or less likely UTI.
Kindly take him to doctor for evaluation.
Meanwhile let him keep a healthy diet and enough fluids.
Take care.Thank you.
