How to get rid of head lice and nits?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Various treatments: I am not sure what is available in your country. In the US there are a variety of prescription or OTC meds/lotions along with nit combs to remove eggs. It helps to apply the treatment to dry hair for the time specified by the product. Rinsing it out with a strong vinegar can help loosen nits which should be combed out with a fine tooth nit comb. Repeated treatments are often needed.
