Is It Safe To Use Colloidal Silver Nasal Spray For Building Immune System Of A 5 Year Old Kid?
my daughter is giving her 5 year old daughter colloidal silver nasal spray up to 10 times a day to "build her immune system" I am a nurse and familiar with external uses of silver preparations for burns but have never heard of internal use. Is this safe and/or effective for internal use?

Indian Ayurvedic preparation like Chyawanprash which contains Indian Gooseberry which being richest dietary source of Vitamin C will definitely help.
