Asalaam o alaikum.
Use Malin lotion 5 percent permethrin . Apply on hair and scalp for 15 min and wash.
Repeat weekly once for 3 weeks.
Nits can only be removed by nit comb or hand .
Thanks.
Very common among children of this age. No harm in using antilice lotions
containing permethrin.Apply for 2 hours and then wash repeat on 7,10 and 14
days. All contacts should be treated. She might be getting re infected from
any relative, nanny or school mates. Rule out this factor to avoid
recurrence.
How ever proper consultation is the best answer.
