What is the best treatment for head lice?

Thorough de-lousing!: With head lice, wash the hair with shampoo containg lice killing medication, usually malathion. That should kill lice but not all the eggs (nits). Wash all bedding and clothing with hot water & detergent to kill lice/eggs. Comb hair with nit comb twice daily for two weeks to prevent recurrence.

Several: There are many medications that can be used for head lice. For resistant cases, a mixture of 1/2 mayonaise and 1/2 vaseline, left on the head all night and then washed out with dishwashing detergent may work where other treatments did not.

Tx of lice : requires accurate identification of nits & lice. Pediculicide is usually used- OTC like Nix or RID or prescription meds like lindane or malathion. Work through hair & remove individual nits. Purchase special lice nit comb to aid you. Check for nits & remove as seen over next 7 to 10 days. If there are nits after 7 to 10 days – a 2nd pediculicide tx may be needed. Wash clothing/ linens in HOT Wate
