U have to remove nits physically by extraction. Lice have to be removed after using anti lice shampoo or lotion with a narrow bristle comb

Lice is a common recurring problem especially in little school going kids.
Permethin is not a bad choice but how you apply it is important and my advice to you will be to repeat it once weekly for at least 2 consecutive weeks
Next Steps
Do consider an ONLINE consultation and we could discuss further details and tips to ensure it doesn't recur
Health Tips
Avoid sharing articles of clothing eg 🧢, clips, hairbands etc
Treatment of other members of family etc is imperative
