Lice infestations can be stubborn, and sometimes one treatment isn’t enough to fully eradicate them.
• Use a fine-toothed nit comb to manually remove nits and lice.
• Repeat the treatment after 7-10 days to catch any newly hatched lice.
• Wash all bedding, clothing, and personal items in hot water and dry on high heat or sunlight.
Next Steps
Kindly consult online for better evaluation and management.
Health Tips
• Avoid using multiple lice treatments at once, as this can cause irritation.
• Ensure everyone in close contact is also treated to prevent re-infestation.
