Accepted Answer

Treating head lice can be a bit challenging, but with the right approach, it can be managed effectively. Here are steps and treatments you can consider:

### Over-the-Counter Treatments

1. **Permethrin Lotion (1%)**: This is a common and effective treatment. Brands like Nix are widely available.
   
2. **Pyrethrin-Based Products**: These are also effective and available in various brands, such as Rid.

### Prescription Medications

If over-the-counter treatments don't work, you can consult your doctor for stronger prescription treatments like:

1. **Spinosad (Natroba)**: This is very effective and only needs one application in most cases.
   
2. **Ivermectin Lotion (Sklice)**: Another effective treatment, often requiring just one application.
   
3. **Malathion (Ovide)**: This is a lotion applied to the hair and scalp and left on for a specified period before washing off.

### Home Remedies and Additional Steps

1. **Wet Combing**: Comb wet hair with a fine-toothed nit comb. This should be done every 3-4 days for a few weeks.

2. **Essential Oils**: Some oils like tea tree oil or lavender oil can help, though they might not be as effective as medicated treatments.

3. **Cleaning**: Wash bedding, hats, and clothing in hot water. Vacuum the floors and furniture to remove any fallen hairs with nits.

### Steps for Treatment

1. **Apply Treatment**: Follow the instructions on the medication carefully. Usually, the treatment is applied to dry hair and left on for a specified period.
   
2. **Comb Out Nits**: After treating, use a fine-toothed nit comb to remove nits (lice eggs) from the hair.
   
3. **Repeat if Necessary**: Some treatments require a second application about a week later to kill any newly hatched lice.

### Preventing Reinfestation

1. **Check Family Members**: Treat anyone who has lice or nits.
   
2. **Avoid Sharing Personal Items**: Ensure your child does not share hats, combs, or pillows with others.

If you are unsure about which treatment to use or if the lice persist, it's best to consult your doctor for advice and possibly a prescription medication.
