Go to pharmacist or ring your doctors surgery (ours automatically goes to an on call doctor who can give you a prescription).

Wash all your bedding and change towels. Make sure your dd wears pants under pj's at night and change pj's daily.

I would also have a good spring clean and wipe things such as door handles, remote controls etc. Encourage her to not put her fingers in her mouth (nail bite, etc).

I know its bleurgghhhh but don't be upset (easier said than done I know).

All of you, unless you're pg or bf. I'd do one tablet each today and then another in a week (or it might be 2 weeks, can't remember) to kill anything that's hatched in the meantime.

You'll have to give all her toys a wash down.
