Is Tea Tree Oil Advisable Instead Of Terinafine For Toe Nail Fungus?

I already order Terbinafine 250 mg for 6 weeks but I only took 2 days (June 9 & 10 2016) and stopped because when I did my pedicure, the lady told me better use tea tree oil in order to avoid side effects, so, I m stopped taking Terbinafine and planning to buy thea tree oil, please advise, I continue take Terbinafine or switch to use tea tree oil. My toe nail fungus not so serious.Thanks for your attention.
