Greetings of the day

It is totally safe.
there is no cause of concern
4 drops will definitely not cause any problem.

Presence of cough, cold, minor fever is not contra-indication for polio drops


In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Wishing you happy and healthy life
