The over the counter stuff works pretty well. If not, a doctor can prescribe something stronger. Make sure your school nurse knows. He/she can send home a letter letting kids/parents know it's going around and to be vigilant. If just one kids who gets it doesn't treat it, it'll just go around again.

umm get some lice shampoo which u can get from just about anywhere and get a lice comb and shampoo your hair everyday for about a week or however long it says on the box and when your hair is still damp comb your hair with the lice comb

There is a product that you can get from your pediatrician that works extremely well. I can'tr remember the name of it. Also, it's kind of messy but works just as well. Cover their hair in vaseline and put a shower cap on it before they go to bed. It suffocates the head lice (like fleas/ticks) and they can be removed easily the following morning. Wash all bedding and anything they can hide in with hot water and bleach to kill any hiding bugs. Good luck!

They sell over the counter lice treatments at any local pharmacy. Just get that and follow the directions. Wash all pillows and bedding. They should be fine.

The kids or the lice?
But seriously folks....
There are shampoos that you can use to kill the lice. You may need a perscription for it. Also, there are very fine toothed combs that can be used to physically remove the lice.
Clean the bedding. I think you can purchase a detergent additive that will kill the little critters in your washing machine.
Although this might give you a case of the heebie-jeebies, it's no big deal.

Tee Tree oil always works for me but if you haven't got any. Wash their hair and use loads of conditioner and don't wash it out.
Then comb their hair whilst its still wet and has conditioner in. Lice find it hard to hold on to the hair so brush quite easily.

ohh my ******** god what ever you do do NOT cut their hair all you have to really do is go down to your local drugstore or wal mark they will sell you some shampoo like stuff to get rid of and wash all your bedding and pillows couches you car every thing needs to washed

Gotta buy Rid. They have it Walmart, Walgreens....it's gonna be a pain w/your daughter's hair, but I'd say do it twice on her. It will also take a long time with that tiny comb they give you, but it must be done. Also, vacuum evrything in the house. If you have pets-call the vet. Lice can only live up to 4 hrs. w/o a " host ". Good luck-4 of my 5 boys got it %26amp; I had to cut my very long hair........

Best way is use a product called RID, and the supplied Nit comb. If boys are involved a haircut is highly recommend. The hair will grow back. Wash all linen with any additive found at your local Pharmacy for this purpose. It will be time consuming.
A better than usual house cleaning is all that is required.
Note:
Book bags
Notebooks
Plush toys all need checking.
If the problem does not get resolved, it may be you fail to delouse enough or someone at school still has it. It is not the end of the world.

Get lice kits from the pharmacy, grocery store or Walmart. Wash everybody's hair in the household with it, and use that little comb to remove eggs and dead lice right after. You will need to retreat everyone in the household in one to two weeks.
Wash everything in the laundry and closets in HOT water - what you can't wash put in sealed plastic bags, and don't open them for at least 2 weeks (put them somewhere where no holes can possibly get in them).
Then, you spray the unwashable things (beds, couches, carpets etc) with the lice spray--this is very important.

One of my girlfriends didn't want to use harsh chemicals either. She combed out her hair over the tub twice a day wih a VERY fine toothed comb for a week and that took care of it she said. Also, I understand you can wash your bedding in hot water with detergent or just seal it into very tight bags for five weeks.
If you want to go the drugstore route, they do make a special shampoo that takes care of things in one day and there is a spray you can use on your bedding too.
I'm sorry it happened, it has nothing to do with you or your kids cleanliness, just something kids get like skinned knees and bruised elbows.

I remember those days...not fun at all.....buy some lice shampoo from walmart or the drug store...use it as directed...use the comb included very well...very small pieces at a time...go over the hair and under the hair with the comb. ..vacuum everywhere and wash the sheets in hot water. ...clean hairbrushes and combs then boil on stovetop for a bit. ...after vacuuming take the vacuum bag OUT OF THE HOUSE...or the lice will crawl out of the bag and find their way back to you heads..buy a spray (shoould be locate next to the shampoo) to spray furniture and mattresses with. In really bad infestations all plush toys should be sealed in plastic bags and removed from the house for 2 weeks......will take a while to do all this, but if you do everything really well the first time, they should be gone, if not , you will have to repeat in a few days.

well you have to get RID it is a hair treatment .. or u can just cut the boys hair really really short. You have to wash everything in the house and iron the mattr's and the couches, heat kills lice.. Just wash all the clothes and blankets and throw out the brushes and get new ones! By the way wash everything in Hot water! Dont worry this is what happends to kids!

Puliz. Not the kids! DON'T get rid of the kids!!! I know you must mean the kids because to get rid of the lice is is as easy as A B C. Take the above example above my preciouse head for example. Really there are such products.
I feel sorry for the kids coz I sense danger ahead. If you fail to get any such products...do dial 911 first and let them know of your next move... HELP!!!
