Hello,

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.
