Suggest Treatment For Head Lice Infestation

My granddaughter brought home headline from school. She has been treated with over the counter treatments and has also got shampoo from the doctor. Nothing works. Her mother has spent hours picking nits out of her hair. Do you have any suggestions how we can get rid of the lice once and for all. We are getting desperate now.
