Treatment for Resistant Head Lice
If you have read about Head Lice on our website:
https://www.foresthillspediatrics.com/is-your-child-sick/lice--head?
and the cdc.gov site:
https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/lice/head/treatment.html
and you still have live lice, we recommend making your own
Ivermectin paste. Ivermectin is an ingredient found in some costly
prescription products but can be inexpensively and easily purchased
on-line as a horse de-worming product.
• Mix the ivermectin paste with your favorite conditioner (1/3
paste, 2/3 hair conditioner)
• Coat your child’s head thoroughly
• Leave on the scalp for 10 minutes
• Rinse in cool water
• Shampoo as normal the next morning
• You still have to pick out all the nits!
