her head which is causing her to itch she
also has head lice, I have tried many
things but can no longer use any chemicals
on her head and can only use conditioner

antibiotics (for 4 weeks now0 but it has
not cleared and we are waiting results,

Well, if she still has the head
lice......The main thing is to kill them
off.....Doesn't matter how you do
it..............Just get it
done!..................For a sensitive
head try oil......Baby oil, vegetable oil,
olive oil.....Whatever you
have..................Cover the head in
oil, put on a shower cap and let her sit
for hours like that.....Even overnight if
necessary..............This will smother
the lice and help slide off the
eggs...........................Comb thru
carefully to make sure you get them
all...............Don't want a
reinfestation! Everything, and I mean
everything should be washed in hot water.
For healing of the head try whatever is
handy in your area.....Zinc cream, tea
tree oil, aloe vera.....And even i've
heard vit e caps spread on wounds helps
healing.
Like antibiotics, unfortunately they kill
the good bacteria along with the bad
bacteria.......................Try
replenishing her body with
probiotics........Or simply plain
yogurt.............If she can tolerate it.
