Hello,
It is very common in school going kids to have this issue. The first step is to confirm it is lice. You could consult your physician for further management. Also consider using a permethrin shampoo once a week that can bring down attacks. It is recommended to wash scalp or dry scalp everyday to remove sweat. Follow up for further management.
Thankyou.
