Product Information

You can do this by combing their hair with a special fine-toothed comb (detection comb). You can buy these online or at pharmacies. How to get rid of head lice Head lice need a human host to survive. If the hair is gone, so are head lice. While cutting a child’s hair may seem like an extreme solution, it may be a viable course of action for some parents. If your child already gets short haircuts, it may make sense for you to deal with head lice by destroying their habitat. If you think or know you have lice, avoid sharing personal items, bedding, towels or clothing. Bathe and follow self-care measures, including washing items in hot water. Parents may be reluctant to keep children home from school, particularly when if they have to go to work themselves.

After the second treatment, a person will complete the same steps as after the first treatment, including: Whether you use nonprescription or prescription shampoo to kill lice, much of the treatment involves self-care steps you can take at home. These include making sure all the nits are removed and that all clothing, bedding, personal items and furniture are free of lice. Wash items. Wash bedding, stuffed animals, clothing and hats with hot, soapy water — at least 130 F (54 C) — and dry them at high heat for at least 20 minutes.Oral prescription drug. Ivermectin (Stromectol) is available by prescription as a tablet taken by mouth. The oral drug effectively treats lice with two doses, eight days apart. This drug is typically used when other treatments haven't been effective. Many home or natural remedies, such as mayonnaise or olive oil, are used to treat head lice. But there's little to no evidence of their effectiveness. Instructions for OTC shampoos may recommend completing another treatment 7–9 days after the first. This is because lice shampoos mainly kill adult lice, so the extra week allows any nits to hatch.

Write down key personal information, including when you might have been exposed to lice, whom you might have exposed and what household items might be contaminated. Topical prescription drugs. Malathion is a prescription drug that you apply to the hair and then rub into the hair and scalp. Malathion has a high alcohol content and is flammable. So keep it away from heat sources such as hair dryers, electric curlers and cigarettes. When they have lice, your kid's scalp is already irritated. Be sure there's nothing in the lice shampoo formula, like fragrance or alcohol, that could cause further irritation.Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment and what to expect from your provider. What you can do Look for active ingredients like permethrin or natural ingredients like mineral oil and tea tree oil, which can effectively treat head lice. Many lice shampoos are sold as full kits and include combs and helpful applicators as well. We carefully considered ingredients, application methods, age recommendations, and value when reviewing products. A special machine that uses hot air to dehydrate head lice and their eggs is another alternative treatment method. The machine requires special training and is currently available only at professional lice treatment centers. Head lice should die within a day. Some lotions and sprays come with a comb to remove dead lice and eggs.
