How much should I put in the humidifier for babies

Hi Jamie apologies for the delay in answering your question. 100 - 200ml would be sufficient for a humidifier.

Hi! I have an 18 month old with pink eye. Could I put silver in his eye? Or orally? If so how much and how often?

Penny

My daughters two month old has eye discharge. Is it safe to use colloidal silver drops?

Susan

7/30/2022 09:54:57 pm

Yes, Penny, a small amount should be very effective. There might be a tiny sting if there is infection there but it subsides very quickly.

Sherry

Can I give this to my 6 month old to prepare him for vacinations

Susan

8/11/2022 03:46:43 pm

Hi Sherry. Colloidal Silver will certainly help to fortify the immune system but doesn't provide protection against the vaccination as such.

Hello I gave my child an adult dose by mistake is there something I can do to counteract this.Im reading that its ok but still has me worried.I gave a dose of activated charcoal.

Susan link

9/27/2022 02:31:01 pm

Hi Katherine. Don't worry, an adult dose of colloidal silver will certainly do no harm. Activated charcoal is great stuff to take if you're unsure - but you're all good.

I have colloidal silver 500 PPM. My 9 month old (20lbs) has a cold and I want to give it to him. Can I give it to him orally? How many drops do you recommend for someone his size?

Susan

10/13/2022 10:47:02 am

Hi Jessica
Like anything, Colloidal Silver if taken at the outset of a cold, etc is most effective but it will still be very helpful. 2.5- 5ml morning and evening

Tiffany

Hello, I have a 2 1/2 year old and I want to start using colloidal silver in a nebulizer. What would the dosage be?

Susan

10/21/2022 01:51:44 pm

Hi Tiffany. 5 ml should be sufficient for your little one.

Andrea

I have been giving my almost 3 year old 2.5-5ml daily since this summer and have been reading that no children under 4 should use and now I’m worried I am going to turn her blue or hurt her kidneys!! She hasn’t had an illness since June, but now I’m affraid I’ve been giving her way too much. 28lbs, will be 3 next month.

Susan

11/3/2022 10:25:22 pm

Hi Andrea There seems to be all sorts of information out there about Colloidal Silver. I can assure you the daily dosage you are giving will have been very advantageous for your little girl. There is no possibility of turning blue without consuming large quantities of impure product and it will certainly not harm kidneys. Wonderful that she's had a good run without any illness.

Is it safe to give my 6 months old for flu and cough

Susan

11/27/2022 05:08:30 pm

Spraying Colloidal Silver as a mist for your baby to breath is would be most beneficial.

Alma

11/28/2022 05:58:18 am

Could I add it to a diffuser ? Or just put it in a spray bottle and spray around ?

Susan

11/28/2022 10:10:12 am

Yes, it could be added to a diffuser.

My 13-month-old has developed a cough and runny nose. Can colloidal silver be given with cough medicine also? Or is it best to not mix the two?

Susan

11/30/2022 10:19:46 pm

There is no problem taking Colloidal Silver and cough medicine together.

I read about the benefits of colloidial silver. I realized that the product I have says 1100 PPM. I used about 1ML to 2ML in a nebulizer mixed with saline solution for my 5 year old daughter. Now I am worried this was too much and may cause her harm. What are your thoughts?

Susan

11/30/2022 09:36:28 pm

The legal limit for human consumption is 10 ppm so I am surprised the product you mentioned is on the market. However, don't worry, that amount in a nebuliser will not be harmful for your daughter unless perhaps it was used repeatedly for a good amount of time. It is not possible to reach a high level of ppm without the presence of additives which results in an impure product.

Emily

12/10/2022 05:25:34 am

Hello, my 8 month old son has bad eczema and currently has a bad cough and really congested. I was wondering what the dosage would be if i use it in the nebulizer and if its safe to just rub it on his skin where he has his eczema?

Susan

12/20/2022 10:11:39 am

Apologies for the late reply Emily. 5 ml in the nebuliser is sufficient. Yes, colloidal Silver would definitely be beneficial for his eczema. Really hope that he is feeling better by now.

Hello,
I have a 4 month old baby who has a cold/cough/bronchitis. Can I use this product please? If so how is best... into a Diffuser or spray in the mouth/nose? I do not want to give too much

Susan

12/20/2022 10:15:31 am

Colloidal Silver is a very safe option for your baby. A diffuser works well. You can also spray into the air around the baby's mouth and nose.

Hi… My 7 month old has a small wound on her face from my dog… I was prescribed an antibiotic cream, however, I was advised that colloidal silver will help prevent/kill infection… Would you advise topical colloidal, silver? I am nervous to do any antibiotics.

Susan

12/27/2022 10:10:48 am

Yes, Colloidal Silver is a very effective natural antibiotic. Spray or dab topically as often as you think necessary.

Tara

Good day my son is 4 and has a cold, productive and sometimes dry cough. I read different dosages , i started giving him 5ml 3 times a day of 10pm is that enough? I read somewhere I should give 15 ml? Please let me know the right dosage
Thank you!

Susan

1/3/2023 11:11:37 am

Hi Tara. Your little boy would benefit from 5-10 ml every few waking hours. Yes, it I confusing to read different dosages. In truth, due to the nature of the product, even 15-20 ml would do no harm.

Diana

I really appreciate all the info on colloidal Silver. I was researching that it might help shrink adenoids in kids. My daughter is 7 and has adenoid hypertrophy. Her nasal passage ways very blocked. I’m tryin to avoid surgery and seeking alternative ways. Thanks for your help.

How much for a 5 month old and a 3 year old both with rsv?

Rita Williams

My 10 month old is diagnosed with RSV and her cough is off the chain. I went to my herbal store and bought Colloidal Silver, I need to know if its truly safe since the box reads 4 years old and adults.

Susan

1/31/2023 07:11:56 pm

Colloidal Silver is very safe for babies. An ultrasonic diffuser with colloidal silver placed near the child works well. If you don't have one, spraying the air around where the baby breathes can also be helpful. 5ml three times a day would also be helpful. It can be taken as is (little or no taste) or in food or drink.
Hope this is helpful and that your little girl is better soon.

Susan

3/22/2023 10:35:24 pm

We are not practitioners so cannot prescribe but customers have reported that Colloidal Silver is useful for a variety of tummy upsets. 10 -15 ml every waking hour until improvement . Hope this is helpful Christine.

One of my five month old twins has been battling a HIGH fever for a few days, hitting as high as 105. Doctor says he’s fighting something but doesn’t know what. Would silver benefit him and how much?

Susan

5/22/2023 09:15:42 am

Colloidal Silver is effective in treating bacterial, viral and fungal conditions. If it is one of these things that is causing his high temperature Colloidal Silver should be very helpful. Probably 5ml ml of Colloidal Silver every 3 - 4 hours. Certainly hope that temperature drops soon - a real concern for you I'm sure.

Kendra

Hi, I’m sick with some kind of viral thing, congested, cough, and sinus pressure. But I’m also breastfeeding my 11 week old baby. How much can I safely take to being sick but also breastfeeding? Thank you.

Susan

6/17/2023 11:45:44 am

Hi Kendra. I am not a practitioner so cannot subscribe. In my opinion there would be no problem at all in taking the dosage needed to fight that flu.

Thank you so much

Susan

7/30/2023 07:47:58 pm

I am not a practitioner so I am unable to prescribe. In my opinion applications of Colloidal Silver and / or Colloidal Silver/ Aloe Vera Cream would be very beneficial for your toddler.

Dulce

Susan

10/9/2023 10:19:40 pm

Hi Dulce. Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I am not a practitioner and so cannot prescribe. However, Colloidal Silver 10ppm is very safe. In my opinion, a couple of sprays every 2-3 waking hours would be beneficial. I hope she is feeling better very soon.

Can I use a colloidal silver nasal spray on my 3 year old? He has sinus congestion, enlarged adenoids and tonsils. Frequent sinus infections. We are trying to avoid surgery. Please advise if so what dosage? TIA

11/8/2023 03:22:36 am

Hello Susan,

I understand that you are not a practitioner but am wondering if you could give me your opinion on whether or not colloidal silver would help my 2 year old. She is 11.5kgs and has a smelly odour coming from her nappy (not urine or faeces) and still smelly after a wash and fresh nappy change. I’m thinking it might be an infection (no soreness, redness, itchiness) but am hesitant to go to the GP.

Thank you for your time.

Susan

11/8/2023 05:15:42 pm

Hi. This doesn't constitute advise but in my opinion if there is a bacterial, fungal or viral infection happening, colloidal Silver should be very effective. 5 -10 ml 3 times a day for the first 3 days and then once a day as required. If there is no improvement I'm sure a natural health practitioner would be helpful.

Noreen

Is it safe to give a 5 year old colloidal silver to help with scabies. And if so how much should he be given.

Susan

11/24/2023 12:14:43 am

Apologies for the delayed response, Noreen. I have not heard of Colloidal Silver being used in the treatment of scabies but it would definitely sooth any itchiness when applied to the affected area.

Kristen

11/23/2023 03:04:19 am

My 7 year old is suffering from what seems to be an ear infection combined with cold and flu symptoms.

Do I give him the 15ml orally and he swallow it? I've read many articles stating that you should never swallow collodial silver so I feel paranoid.

Thanks so much!!

Susan

11/24/2023 12:23:35 am

Hi Kristen
I am not a practitioner so cannot prescribe. If it were me I would drop a few drops in each ear with an eyedropper and orally 15ml 3 X a day until he improves. Colloidal Silver has been used orally for centuries. We have a maintenance dose every day and our go also has it in his food/water.

Danielle Parks

Say a one year old has an ear infection, in your opinion, which route would be best? By mouth or ear, or both?

Hi Danielle
I am not a practitioner so cannot prescribe but in my opinion both.

Susan

2/20/2024 01:55:25 pm

Hi Amy A minute amount might pass through your milk and could only do her good. If you are concerned she is not well, she will take what she needs from spraying the air close to her. Hope this is helpful.
