Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. lice infestations are common in children and can be discomforting and easily spread. prompt treatment is crucial to prevent more severe itching and irritation.
over-the-counter medicated shampoos, containing pyrethrins or permethrin, are commonly used to treat lice in children. follow the instructions carefully and consider a second treatment to ensure complete eradication of lice and nits.
in addition to using medicated shampoos, comb through the child's hair thoroughly with a fine-toothed comb to remove any remaining lice and nits. wash and dry all bedding, clothing, and personal items that may have contacted the infested individual to prevent reinfestation.

for severe cases or if over-the-counter treatments fail, consult a healthcare provider for prescription-strength medication. adhere to the prescribed treatment plan and complete the full course of medication to effectively eliminate lice infestations in children.
