What to do to get rid of lice on my 2 year old twins.?

Lice shampoo: Use an over the counter lice shampoo followed by meticulous combing to remove any nits. Combing will go better if you leave a small amount of conditioner in their hair. You may have to repeat this process in a week.

Lice: Treatment of lice requires accurate identification of nits & / or lice. A pediculicide is usually used- OTC like Nix (permethrin) or RID or prescription meds Work carefully through hair & remove individual nits. Purchase a special lice nit comb to aid you. Check for nits & remove as seen over the next 7 to 10 days. If there are nits after 7 to 10 days – a 2nd pediculicide tx may be needed.
