How Long After Lice Treatment Do Children Need To Stay Away From Others?
How long after lice treatment do children need to stay away from others? We have a 17 year old female who was treated last night for lice in her hair. The whole household where she lives has been treated. She has a pending visit with her sister in 2 days. How long do they need to wait to visit
As per my clinical experience, it is the usual and average period of 5-7 days during which there are high chances of transmission of head lice and that period has to be taken care of.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
