How To Get Rid Of Fungus Under Toenail?

Hi there, a family member of mine noticed a green fungus under his toenail for about 2weeks now and he has been using the econaderm cream solution. Is that the best option to treat and get rid of the fungus? Or should he try some hydrogen peroxide? If he can use the hydrogen peroxide, how should we apply it to the affected nail?

Hi,
Fungal infection in toe nails takes long time to cure.
Continue with local application anti-fungal lotion.
Go for one course of oral anti-fungal medicine like Flucanozole 150 mg once in a week for 4 weeks.
Ok and take care.
