Has anyone’s kid here ever had lice? My daughter keeps itching her head and there’s sand/dandruff looking flakes on her pillow and her hair. I don’t know if it’s lice or just sand or dandruff
Take a fine tooth comb and part her hair and look for little lice bugs. That will look similar to this photo. They sometimes are a lighter color as well. If she has them then you need to treat the whole house and get a hair treatment and a “nit” comb for her as well and comb them out after the treatment.
Dandruff and flakes with just brush out. Nits cling to the hair and have to be pulled out. Brownish color menas their alive and white are dead or hatched. And the bugs move. Could just treat her hair or get a comb if you don’t know what to look for. The longer it goes the harder it is to get rid of.

Give her a good scrub on her head and you’ll know.
Take to a urgent care or a pediatrician and ask if they can do a lice check.
