A. For your daughter’s lice and hair fall issue, here’s a two-part solution: 1. For Lice Removal: Use a pediatric-safe lice lotion like: Permethrin 1% lotion (e.g., Permite, Nix): Apply to scalp, leave for 10 minutes, rinse thoroughly. Repeat after 7 days to kill new lice. Lice combing: After applying the lotion, use a fine-tooth lice comb daily to remove eggs (nits) and dead lice. Also, wash her bedding, clothes, and towels in hot water to prevent re-infestation. 2. For Hair Fall: Lice infestation and frequent scratching often cause hair fall. Once the lice are treated: Use a mild, natural shampoo (like Mamaearth Gentle or Himalaya Baby Shampoo). Apply coconut oil or onion oil 2–3 times a week to nourish the scalp. Include protein- and iron-rich foods like eggs, spinach, dal, and nuts in her diet. If hair fall continues even after lice are gone, consult a pediatric dermatologist to rule out scalp infections or deficiencies.
