You should only treat your child if you find live head lice, which confirms a live infestation. Don't treat 'just in case'.
Head lice are tough. They can’t be killed by washing with normal shampoo or normal combing. Because they reproduce so quickly, you’ve got to kill them before they spread.
If your child has head lice, check everyone in the family. You'll need to treat everyone affected to get rid of them.
You can treat head lice by wet-combing hair with a special comb, or by using medicated lotions or sprays available over the counter at pharmacies.
