hi anamika,,
thanks for posting in HCM.
ur mother may be having a fungal infection of nail called onychomycosis. the treatment earlier was 6 months for finger nails and one year for toe nails when fluconazole was used. But now many other drugs like terbinafine , itraconoazole. where the treatment is for a shorter time.
