Thanks for your query on Healthcare Magic
Dear friend your child needs dandruff shampoo to be applied once a week for a month, as dandruff if not properly treatment will cause seborrheic dermatitis and can lead to fever so i suggest you to apply scalpe shampoo for few mins and rinse without leaving residual shampoo on head.
Thank you
