How to treat fleas on kids?

Does anybody know about any way to treat fleas on kids? This is absolutely not a lice infestation. I know fleas don’t usually take residence on humans but they have with my daughter. When I Google it, the only thing I can find is treatment for flea bites. Would a lice treatment work? Does anybody know of anything else?

Dawn dish soap. Let it sit 5 minutes or so really foamy. Rinse. Condition 2 x.

Yep, dawn dish soap… Let sit and make sure to condition really well after. It will dry the hair out. Wash all the bedding and pillows… Sorry the whole house, mattresses included with Othro home defense max 2 times a week for a few weeks until they are gone. Get the animals soresto for collars to get that under control or they will just come back…

You need to treat your house and yard as well as all pets. Fleas don’t generally live or reproduce on just humans so they’ve got to be coming from somewhere else. A shower should be enough to get the fleas off the kids but if everything else isn’t treated then they’ll just get more on them.

Fleas will go for me before even my pets. No.idea why. As mentioned above dawn and if you can wash carpets and vacuum daily leave the vacuum outside once your done. There are sprays at pet shops that are meant for things like couchs and furniture I would get some of that.
