How To Get Rid Of Bugs From My Daughter S Hair?

I found some bugs in my daughter s hair, but it is not lice. They are brown, with two little long things in the front. They made her hair itch, the pharmacist stated it was not lice but could not tell me what kind of bug either. I treated it with the lice rinse, just wondering what it is.

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that mostly it is lice. You can take the ivermectin single dose therapy. It will all the bugs in single dose and you will be relieved. Ivermectin is toxic drug and should be taken under doctors prescription so visit your near by doctor for it.
