I need to replace a light switch but not sure what to ask for.

It has 3 switches.
2 of the switches are straightforward on or off for kitchen.
The 3rd switch is a 2-way ie it switches the lounge light on or off but but
there is another switch that also switches the lounge light on/off so in
some way they are connected.

I hope this is clear enough.

thanks
