Hi,
Thanks for asking query on health care magic.
The oral polio drops contain live attenuated polio virus.
They do not cause any disease, only they induce immunity
Even if more drops are given there is nothing to worry.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose.
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required.
Take care
