Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr Arun Tank, Infectious diseases specialists, responding to you.

If your diagnosis is correct you can opt for following treatment.

It is good antifungal drug fluconazole. 150 mg is right dose you should take it for month at least or you can take it until the new nail will grow up removing rest of the infected nail.

Please change the shocks daily. Maintain cleanliness and hygiene.

I will be glad to answer your further query.
