Greetings - i am not aware of any full proof home remedy measure for lice problem and its better you go to a dermatologist and get treated for the same. Long term hair lice can cause infections in the scalp with associated hair fall, lymph node swelling, id reactions etc. You'll neeed permethrin based solution to be applied before bath once in a week for 3 to four weeks- to be done by entire family. hope this helps
Next Steps
see a qualified dermatologist near you - seek his advice and prescription
