Procedure Of Pediculosis Capitis

The procedure for killing lice for a patient with pediculosis capitis (head lice) typically involves the following steps:

1. Wash the hair with a medicated shampoo: There are a number of over-the-counter and prescription shampoos that can be used to kill lice. These shampoos work by suffocating the lice or dissolving their shells. It is important to follow the directions on the shampoo carefully.
2. Comb the hair with a fine-toothed comb: After washing the hair with shampoo, it is important to comb it thoroughly with a fine-toothed comb. This will help to remove any remaining lice or nits. You can buy special combs for head lice at most drugstores.
3. Apply a leave-in treatment: Once the hair has been combed, you can apply a leave-in treatment to the hair. This treatment will help to kill any remaining lice or nits that may be hiding in the hair.
4. Cover the hair with a shower cap: After applying the leave-in treatment, you can cover the hair with a shower cap. This will help to keep the treatment on the hair and prevent it from getting on your clothes.
5. Let the treatment sit for the amount of time specified on the directions: The treatment will need to sit on the hair for a certain amount of time before it can be washed out. Be sure to follow the directions on the treatment carefully.
6. Wash the hair with regular shampoo: Once the treatment has sat for the specified amount of time, you can wash the hair with regular shampoo. This will remove the treatment from the hair.
7. Recheck the hair for lice and nits: It is important to recheck the hair for lice and nits 7-10 days after treatment to make sure that the infestation is gone. If lice or nits are still found, treatment may need to be repeated.

Here are some additional tips for killing lice:

• Use a clarifying shampoo to remove any product build-up in the hair. This will help the lice treatment to work more effectively.
• Be sure to comb the hair thoroughly, especially around the ears and the nape of the neck. These are common hiding places for lice.
• If you have long hair, you may want to braid it or put it up in a bun. This will make it easier to comb and treat.
• If you have a pet, be sure to treat them for lice as well. Lice can easily spread from humans to pets.
