<bot>: Hi, A picture of your infected toenails is needed to give a more precise answer. The very first thing is to determine the type of infection as medications prescribed depend on the type of infection. For this, it is important to know: - if the bed of toenails are red, swollen and with pus coming out, then, you might need to apply antibiotic cream at the nail bed- if the bed is not affected, but only the toenail, then, I advise to:wash with warm water and salt apply gentian violet solution on the nail and on the surrounding soft tissue apply antifungal cream locally. All the best!
