Nits & lice: Tx of lice requires accurate identification of nits & / or lice.  A pediculicide is usually used- otc like nix (permethrin) or rid or prescription meds like lindane or malathion. Work carefully through hair & remove individual nits. Nit comb not required. Check for nits & remove as seen over the next  7 to 10 days. If there are nits after 7 to 10 days – a 2nd pediculicide tx may be needed.

Question 3

what should i do if i am unable to completely remove all head lice nits with nit comb?

Accepted Answer

Don't worry.....: The majority of nits--especially if more than 1/8 inch from the scalp will not contain viable/live lice, but empty egg casings. You can try soaking the child's' scalp in a towel soaked with vinegar. This will help loosen the attachment of the nit to the hair shaft and can make removal easier.

Question 5

how to remove head lice naturally?

Accepted Answer

Lots of effort: There is a large movement to not coat the head with Permethrin or lindane due to potential neurotoxicity, and the risk is relevant. Non medicated products like licemd or ovid are effective, but nothing works better than the nit-loosening gel (ok, so it's not totally natural), the fine toothed comb, and lots of time and effort getting out all nits and lice. Then repeating the effort.
