Greetings and thanks for posting your query. I appreciate your concern for your baby. Minor fever is one of the recognized side effects of Polio vaccine. It will settle in a day or two. There is no danger from the few extra drops of OPV that were accidentally administered. If you have more queries, I am available. Best wishes for your baby.
