Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Hair Lice

My 8-year-old daughter has had repeated episodes of lice. We ve done everything recommended to get rid of them (in her hair and throughout the house) and they keep coming back. The most recent treatment we ve used is called Vamousse and we thought that was working but today we found lice on her head again. Is there something stronger or better that we should use? Is there a prescription treatment that would work better than OTC treatments?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this is the pediculosis even after the treatment if this is not cured then cut down all the hair (Clean shave the head ) then start the treatment with "Gama benzene" apply this on scalp for three days at night, the main motive is to kill the eggs, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
