My wife is suffering from prolonged problems with lice and lice eggs over 1.5 yrs. Previously doctor recommended to use 'perlice' lotion along with a tablet with 10 days gap in between. But the issue is not resolved yet and new small lice are occurring and spreading new eggs. Please recommend a successful medication for the problem she is facing continuously.

Hi, do use a nit comb after head bath with perlice lotion. Keep hair length manageable and scalp clean. Lice can spread from one person to another. Treat all contacts with lice symptoms to prevent reinfestation. Wash all clothes and bed linen with hot water and iron them. Nit comb is equally important. Be persistent, and lice will go away.
