14 y/o son had trama to toenail playing basketball back in october, nail fell off from big toe, what to do from here?

Monitor : And observe. Nothing else to do. If the nail starts to grow back and looks thick, I would start applying a topical antifungal. Otherwise, hopefully, a new nail will grow back normally.
