How To Treat Fungus Growth Under Toenails?

My 12 yo son has some kind of fungus growing under his toenails. And his big toe nail has a slight gap under it that keeps getting stuff under it. His nails have a slight under curve. His Dr took a tiny nail clipping to test and everything came back negative. It s gross and we don t know how to treat it. Should we take him to a podiatrist?
