Pediatrics Questions Head Lice

How do you treat head lice?

The school nurse found head lice in my son's hair, and sent him home. I have this special shampoo that's supposed to help, but do I need to do anything else to help him treat his lice?

Rid or Nix OTC shampoo and leave 6-8 hours, then wash also comb hair for nits (eggs), and wash linens with hot water and bleach. Retreat in 1 week when eggs may hatch out.
