Lice are
menacingly contagious and disgusting. Battling them with the right kind of
weapon is extremely necessary to get rid of them. Here are a few effective head lice treatments
you can apply.
Medicated
shampoos are the most commonly used for lice problems. There are several brands
available over-the-counter without any prescription, or it may be prescribed by
the doctor as well. Read the direction and use it sparsely according to the
length of the hair. After the bath, remove the dead lice with the nit comb that
comes with the kit. Please do not use the product on kids under two years.
Depending on the severity of infestation, the doctor will recommend the
treatment for two or three days in a week.
If you prefer
home-remedy, then massage the head either with mayonnaise or olive oil and
leave for some time. Since the nits or the eggs need breathing space to
survive, use of oil or the mayonnaise will make it difficult for the nits to
breathe and the dead ones can be removed with a comb.
There are no
particular head lice
treatments. The ones that will suit you the most can be judged only
after analyzing your problem. So, consult the doctor before jump-starting any
medical cure.
