Jim, It is possible that the boy has an allergic reaction to silver, but more likely that he has had a reaction to the chlorine. Silver ions or silver chloride (solid) are benign and do not have a history of causing inflammation.
The health professional is, as far as I know, quite mistaken, and would do better to concentrate on finding the real cause of this reaction.
