Head lice for more than a month

Question

Asked for Female, 37 Years

It's been 10 days that I applied the medicines prescribed by the Dr. to treat head lice. I've used as per her instruction. But why is it that I still feel my scalp itching and a sense that something is walking in my hair? 1. Is it because there is still live lice? 2. Is it because of the medicines effect on me?
