Physical removal with lice comb is the primary step should be taken.
For babies Nimba taila application helps.
For children and adults, combing with specialized comb is necessary.
Every week neem leaves paste should be applied to head for 1hr and them washed properly. This should be done every week until you find no lice on head.
Proper hygiene and nutrition helps a lot in this condition.
For further assistance and medication consultation is must.
Namaskaram, have a grt day .
