Suggest Medicine To Prevent Scabies

MY MOM HAS APPARENTLY CONTACTED SCABIES AT HER NURSING HOME. WE DIDN T KNOW AND WE HUGGED HER, UT WE WERE WITH HER FOR LESS THAN 30 MINUTES. I AM AFRAID WE CONTRACTED IT. THERE ARE NO SYMPTOMS YET , BUT I AM SO WORRIED WE DO HAVE IT. IS THERE ANY OTC DRUG FOR SCABIES I CAN BUY?
