      Hello, I am a college student. I have head lice. Although I wash my hair every week. Now it itches and makes me uncomfortable. What should I do? Which medication can I use for head lice? Please recommend some therapy for this.

        @mishtu According to Sanofi Pasteur’s 2014 survey, moms who chose prescription treatments were more likely to be satisfied (91 percent) than moms who chose over-the-counter treatments (79 percent). There are several prescription products that kill head lice. Always start with clean hair, but avoid using a combination shampoo-and-conditioner product before lice treatment application. In addition, you shouldn’t wash your or your child’s hair one to two days after you remove the lice medicine. Keep the application on the hair and scalp only. Follow the instructions on the package. Possible side effects of prescription treatment include:
        dandruff
        a burning sensation where you apply the medication
        eye redness
        skin, scalp, and eye irritation
