My daughter has head lice, and using Perlice has not been effective despite multiple applications. What alternative medications or treatments would you recommend to get rid of them?
It is common for lice to develop resistance to permethrin. Don't worry, there are several highly effective alternatives. I recommend consulting your pediatrician for prescription treatments such as topical benzyl alcohol, spinosad, or ivermectin lotion. Alongside medication, diligent wet-combing of her hair with a fine-toothed nit comb and conditioner every 2-3 days is crucial to physically remove stubborn lice and eggs. Additionally, wash her recently used bedding, clothing, and hairbrushes in hot water to prevent re-infestation. With these targeted steps, the infestation should clear up quickly.
