Doctor i have fungus oon my big toe and i have a hole on top and it hurts please will you tell me the best meds to use and any thing else will help?

If you have pain: I would suggest you see a podiatrist. They will be able to debride or cut down the toenail so that it should not hurt. Additionally, they may decide if appropriate to give you an oral medication or topical. A hole is not a good sign but difficult to comment as we don't see it.

See Podiatrist: A podiatrist will properly evaluate the area and determine the treatment possibilities.
