Say No To Lice This Monsoon Season | ||
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India If you’ve ever experienced hair lice with your children, there’s always a sense of panic caused if they’re ever caught scratching their heads. And while going to school is extremely important for a child’s overall development, with children returning to school and the back to school energy amongst young kids and mothers, there is a persistent fear of the child catching either infections or bringing home hair lice from school. But schools are not the only source, with the monsoons setting in, the dampness in the air creates the perfect hub for the growth of hair lice.
Mediker contains 100% Natural Actives with Coconut Neem and Sitaphal seed extracts
Head lice affect school-aged children and their families. They can attach to the hair of anyone's head, irrespective of the hair being clean or dirty. Head-to-head contact with an infected person is common during play at school, home, and outdoors (sports activities, playground, slumber parties, camp) which can easily lead to spread of lice. Some of the common symptoms of lice include itching in the scalp, feeling of ticklishness, irritability and difficulty sleeping (head lice are most active in the dark), sores on the head caused by scratching.
One bout with lice and we have to start washing everything in the house and picking through hair strand by strand looking for nits. And yes while lice combs can give you temporary relief, they are never the answer to curbing the problem of hair lice at root level.The sharp tooth of lice can manage to kill the lice present on the scalp, but are ineffective in the removal of lice nits. These sharp edges also damage a child's scalp.
Dr. Neha Rastogi, Consultant Infectious Diseases, Fortis Hospital MBBS, MD. DM From AIIMS Delhi according to her expertise she mentions “Using an anti-lice shampoo is the most effective solution of eradicating hair lice. But these anti-lice shampoos need to contain natural ingredients and be clinically proven to eradicate lice in a natural manner without being toxic to your child’s health. The medical benefits of neem and coconut are proven ways to tackle this problem which is why I recommend parents to opt for medicated shampoos that are made of herbal ingredients and are clinically tested to be safe.” |
