Q.

Hi, My daughter is 1 year old. Her hair is full of lice and nits. She is always scratching her head. Is there any natural solution for that?

A. Yes, you can try some gentle and natural remedies to help your one-year-old with lice and nits, but be very careful with her delicate scalp. One effective method is applying coconut oil—it helps suffocate lice and soothes itching. Massage it into her scalp and leave it for at least 30 minutes, then comb through with a fine-tooth lice comb to remove lice and nits. You can also add a few drops of tea tree oil to coconut oil, but only after doing a patch test and using a very small amount (it's strong for babies). Wash her bedding and clothes in hot water. If natural methods don’t help, consult a pediatrician for a safe medicated option suited for her age.
