Question

Please tell brand-name and also generic-name of medicine as medication for fungus under thumb-nail?

Answer 1

I soak them in Hydrogen peroxide..but once when i was really in a hurry I used bleach mildly and hot soapy water..just a little bit and it worked just fine,..but usually, hydrogen peroxide soak will do the job.

Answer 2

Lamisil tablets... treats the fungus from inside your bloodstream

generic name... Terbinafine

it's a long-term course of treatment and is costly

blood tests must also be done to check your liver function as this medication is hard on the liver.

Answer 3

Try Vick's Vapor Rub

Answer 4

After you bathe or shower and your nails are hydrated (you can also soak them) put a drop or two of tea tree oil on the infected nails. Do this once a day til they are cleared up.

Answer 5
