Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr. kakkar (dermatologist).
I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
For lice she may use Ivrea Shampoo (contains ivermectin). Lather it well on to wet scalp, leave it on for 10 minutes to act and then rinse it off. Repeat after a week if required.
