Home remedies: Oral antifungals are pricey, can harm your liver and often don't work. Home remedies like soaking in apple cider vinegar or applying tea tree oil are often successful but need to do regularly for months- see https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/fungus.html for detailed info on home remedies. This site compares various OTC remedies: https://nationalnailfungus.org/product-comparison/ Good luck!
