Memory issues
My sister is always forgetful she always forgets things. She works really hard on studies but the result are unsatisfactory. She works like a 90% and hardly manages to pass. She is very slow in all her work. Too much behind then her classmates. What can be done to improve her memory and speed? And also she has got lice. Is that causing it.
Note: She is not completely dull. She is always on gossips. She remembers serial episodes and songs. She takes part in activities.
But memory and speed in studies is a concern...

U need to get her iron levels checked. Iron deficiency anemia is known to cause learning difficulties and short attention span.
Although lice infestation has nothing to do with this, the constant itching could be the cause for distraction
