Some studies have shown safety of Ivermactin in children ( above  15kg). But some doctors dont recommended  its use in children.  Ivermactin  has been used in children  under compelling circumstances

Its not recommended for this age group. Most antilice shampoos are used in a wrong way thts Y thry don't work. I need to see the patient for proper treatment.
