Brief Answer:
See details below.

Detailed Answer:
I am afraid, I can't give you a prescription of antifungals from this site.
I can suggest you to take antifungal nail polish called ciclopirox and oral antifungal treatment such terbinafine or intraconasole for at least 6 weeks till the nail looks normal.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
