I initially used ecocort to treat my possible fungal/etc. infected toe but switched to egocort when i couldn't sleep from the itching. should i revert?

If you have a fungus an antifungal is more appropriate and if you have an infection then an antibiotic is more appropriate. Cortisone is not indicated in either condition. (Assuming the medication you speak of is cortisone).
