Is Giving Liquid Silver Advisable For Intermittent Fever In Infants?
1.) my grandson is given liquid silver daily since he was a baby. He is now 33 months old. Is this safe for him? 2.) he has been sick recently. He had a fever on and off for several days. He had tremors of hands and feet that were distressing to him and us. Could the silver be related? Concerned Grandma

Hi,
Effective drugs are available for treatment of fever in children.Hence kindly avoid liquid silver as it can cause many adverse effects such as skin discoloration, hypersensitivity.
In case of persistent fever for more than 3 days, basic blood tests are recommended.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
