Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
For nail fungal infections you need to take oral antifungal medicines.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to start with tablet terbinafine 250 mg once daily for 12-16 weeks.
This is a prescription drug and you need to see the doctor in person to get it.
