Dr. Tajunnisa M

Hi Keerthi. The medicine prescribed by the doctor is a better option. If he has asked you to visit him for next 2 consecutive weeks, it must be a mite infestation, where in even the eggs are seen through microscope. If it’s a confirmed case if mite infestation, an ivermectin injection for 3 consecutive weeks is a correct treatment.

Dr. Tajunnisa M

Either of the times is fine. No such rule for it.
